Firefighter's Prayer

By Anonymous

When I am called to duty, God,
Whenever 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 save an older person from
The horror of that fate.

Enable me to be alert
And hear the weakest shout,
To quickly and efficiently
Put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling,
To give the best in me,
To guard friends and neighbors
And protect their property.

And if, according to Your will
In my duty I should fall,
Bless with Your loving hand
My family one and all.
