Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God,
wherever flames may rage,
Give me strength to save some life,
Whatever be it's age.

Help me embrace alittle child,
before it's 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 effectively,
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 their property.

And if according to your will,
I have to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting hand,
my families precious life.
