A Fireman's Prayer

When I am called to duty, God

Where ever 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 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.

Firefighter's Prayer

Oh Lord, please help this firefighter

To be skillful and brave.

Please let me never falter

When there are lives to save.

Be with my fellow firefighters

And ride with us each run;

From the moment we "suit up"

Until the job is done.

Be with me as I guide a child

Through the dark and smoky haze;

Give me strength and courage

As I fight the deadly blaze.

Lord, I put my safety in your hands;

But in the chaos and the strife,

Help me act with selfless courage.

God, just help me save a life.
