A fireman’s  Prayer

When I am called to duty, God,

wherever flames may rage;

Give me strength to save some life,

Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child

Before it is too late;

Or save an older person from

The horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert

And hear the weakest shout,

And quickly and efficiently,

To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling and

To give the best in me;

To guard my every neighbor and

Protect his property.

And if according to Your will,

I have to lose my life,

Please bless with Your protecting hand,

My children and my wife.
