A Firefighters Prayer

When I'm called to duty, God
whenever flames may rage,
give me strength to save some life
whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child
before it is to late
or save an older person from
the horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert
To the weakest shout
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling and
To give the best of me
To guard my every neighbor and
Protect his property.

And if according to my fate
I'm to lose my life
Please bless with your protecting hand
My family and my wife
