FIREMAN'S PRAYER

When I am called to duty, God,
whenever flames may rage,
give me the strength to save some life,
what ever 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,
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 me every neighbor,
and protect his property.

And if, according to my fate,
I am to lose my life,
please bless with your protecting hand,
my children and my wife.
