A Fireman's Prayer

This the prayer that Bricen and I gave Albert for Christmas. I think I am going to write this on a small piece of paper for him to stick in his wallet to have with him at all times. He is loves being on the fire department.

A Fireman's Prayer
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.
