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.
