When I am called to duty,
Wherever flames may rage,
Give me the strength to save a 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 their 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 God’s will
I must answer death’s call,
bless with your protecting hand,
my family one and all.
