FIREMAN'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 before it is too late,
of 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 gine the best in me,
to guard my ever neighbor and his protect his property.
And if, according to your fate, I am to lose my life.
please bless with your protecting hand,
my children and my wife.
