Policeman's Prayer (Third Variation)

By:

Author Unknown

Oh Lord, while I'm on my beat
May I know that you're with me.
And protect me as I go to guard
Other's lives and property

Help me ignore those who scorn
And show me no respect,
But be mindful of all citizens
I've sworn to protect.

Be with my fellow officers
And guard their safety too.
May I always put duty first
In the work that I must do.

May I not disgrace the uniform
But bring pride to the badge I wear
That I'd be a good policeman, Lord
Would be my only prayer.

Amen
