The 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 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 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 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.
