| Always Remember |
|
| Firefighter's Prayer |
When I am called to duty,
God Wherever flames may rage,
give me strength to save a life
whatever be its age,
Help me to embrace a little child
before it is too late,
or save an older person
from the horror of that fate,
Eenable me to be alert
to hear the weakest shout,
and quickly and effeciently
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 your will
I have to give my life,
please bless with your protecting hand
my children and my wife.
