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 the special
people in my life.
