A Fire Fighter's Prayer

 

When I'm called to duty, God

wherever flames may rage.

Grant me the strength to save a life

whatever be its age.

Help me to 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

to hear the weakest shout.

And quickly and efficiently

put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling, Lord

and give the best in me.

To guard my every neighbor and

protect his property.

And if according to your will

I am to lose my life.

God bless with your protecting hand

my children and my wife.
