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.

Help me embrace a little child

Before it is too late.

Or to 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,

To give the best in me,

To guard my friend and neighbour,

And protect their property.

And if according to your will

I must answer Death's call,

Bless with Your protecting hand,

My family one and all.
