A Fireman's Prayer
When I am called to duty, God, whenever
flames may rage;
give me strength to save some 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,
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 every neighbor and protect his
property.
And if, according to my fate, I am to lose
my life;
please Bless with Your protecting hand my
children
and my wife. |
