When I am called to duty, God,
whenever flames may rage
Give me the strength to save some life
whatever be its age
helop 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
my children and my wife.
FIREFIGHTER'S PRAYER
(Anon)
When I start my tour of duty God,
wherever crime may be
as I walk the darkened streets alone
let me be close to thee
Please give me understanding
with both the young and old
let me listen with attention
until their story's told.
Let me never make a judgement
in a rash or callous way
but let me hold my patience let
each man have his say.

Lord, if some dark and dreary night
I must give my life
With your everlasting love
protect my children and my wife.
POLICE OFFICER'S PRAYER
(Anon)
As I perform my duty Lord
whatever the case may be
Help to guide and protect me
and keep my spirit free.
I want to serve and do my best,
no matter what the scene.
I pledge to keep my skills refined
My judgement quick and keen.
This calling to give of myself
most do not understand.
But I stand ready at all times
to serve my fellow man.
The praise of man is fine for some
but I feel truly blessed that you
Oh Lord have chosen me
to serve as an EMT.
