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’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 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 our fate,
I have to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting hand,
My children and my mate.
