When I am called
to duty, God
where ever flames may rage
give me strength to
save some life,
whatever be it's 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
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 am to lose my life,
Please bless with your Protecting hand,
my children and my wife.
