Firemans Prayer

Here are two prayers for Firemen:

When I am called to duty, God...
Where ever flames may rage...
Give me the strength to save some life...
Whatever be its age...
Help me embrace a little child...
Before it is to 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 your will...
I have to give my life...
Please bless with your protecting hand...
MY CHILDREN AND MY WIFE.

When duty call's me,oh lord, my partner,
When flames do their destructive work,
Give me strength to save lives
And, above all, keep my courage bright.
Wtih you will I reach, before it's too late,
The injured child, the helpless old person,
With your generosity, may I be able
To spare them the horror of such an end.
Since I must always be alert,
I pray thee, oh Lord, guide my every move,
And in the infernal tumlut of the fire
Let me hear the feeblest cry.
I will glory in fulfillment of my destiny,
For is not life-saving the most noble calling?
When the storm is over and all have returned home,
Then I will be proud to have helped my neighbor.
If it should happen, by thy will,
That I must give my life,
I pray thee, protect my family
And bless this firefighter who is yours...
