New Zealand Kereru
O God, enlarge within us the sense
of fellowship with all living things,
our brothers, the animals to whom You gave the earth as
their home in common with us.
We remember with shame that in the past
we have exercised the high dominion of man with
ruthless cruelty so that the voice of the earth,
which should have gone up to You in song,
has been a groan of travail.
May we realize that they live not for
us alone but for You and for
all Your creatures who love
the sweetness of life.
