When I am called to duty, God
Wherever flame may rage,
Give me strength to save 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 fo 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.
