Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty
God wherever flames may rage
give me strength to save some life
whatever be itīs age

Help me embrace a little child before itīs too late
or save an older person from the horror of that fate
Enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout
and effectively to put the fire out

I want to fill my calling and give the best in me
to guard my every neighbor and protect his property
And if according to your will I have to lose my life
please bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife
Amen
