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
My children and my wife.
