The Fireman's Prayer

  

When duty calls me. oh Lord

Wherever flames may rage

Give me the strength to save some life

Whatever be his 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 oh Lord guide my every move

for life is so precious,

please don't let us lose.

  

I want to fill my calling and

to give the best in me

To guard my every neighbor

And protect their property

  

And if according to thy will,

that I must give my life,

then with thy protecting hand my Lord,

I pray thee, protect my children and my wife.

 

Amen

The EMT's Prayer

  

LORD,

  

Grant me the wisdom so that I may treat

those of your children that lay at my feet.

Let my hands be gentle, sure and swift

to impart to them your sacred gift.

  

Let me see only a patient's need

not their color, race or creed.

Help me always to be my best

even when it;'s on my hours rest.

  

Grant me the insight to understand why

patients of mine are going to die.

Let me remember that when they do

there is a wonderful life in Heaven with you.

  

Lord, if in the time of duty I should fall

help my family to hold their heads tall.

For it was You who decided that I should be

one of your chosed few, an EMT.
