Firefighter'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 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
To put the fire out.
And to give the best in me.
To guard my every neighbor
And protect his property.
And if I am to lose my life
Answering my last call,
Please bless with your protecting hand
My family, one and all.
