Firefighter's Prayer

When I am called to duty God,

Wherever flames may rage,

Give me the strength to save a life

Whatever be its 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 efficiently

Put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling

And give the best in me,

To guard my every neighbor

And protect their property.

And if according to your will,

I have to lose my life,

Please bless with your protecting hands

My family one and all.
