The Firefighter's Prayer
When I am called to duty, God
Wherever flames may rage
Give me strength to save a life
Whatever be its age.
Let 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 to hear the weakest shout,
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.
I want to fill my calling
To give the best in me
To guard my friend and neighbor
And protect their property.
And, if according to your will
I must answer my final call,
Bless with your protecting hand
My family, one and all.
