Firefighter's Prayer

                       When I'm called to duty God
                        wherever flames may rage
                       give me 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
               to put the fire out
                I want to fill my calling and
            to give the best in me
               to guard my neighbor and
             protect his property
             And if according to your will
           I have to lose my life
             bless with your protecting hand
           my children and my wife.
