When I am called to duty, God,
Wherever
Flames may rage;
Give me the 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 their property.
And if according to your will,
I have
to lose my life;
Please bless with your protecting hand,
My
children and my wife.
