Fireman's Prayer


When I am called to duty God
wherever flames may rage
give me strength to save a life
whatever be its age


Help me to 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
to 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 neighbor and
protect his property


And if according to your will
I have to lose my life
bless with your protecting hand
my loving family from strife


In memory of the 343

FIRE OFFICER'S PRAYER



Dear Lord, we call upon You for strength and guidance.

Look kindly upon us in our needs.

Teach us to look always to You for assistance, as our fellow firefighters and citizens look to us.

Give us courage, that we may impart courage and leadership to others.

Make us studious, and give us pride and joy in our work.

When the gong sounds, calling us to our duty, give us speed and efficiency.

As our siren wails, ride with us on our way, shielding us from danger.

On the emergency scene, may our firefighters work as a cautious, courageous and victorious team.

Walk with us through the terror of flame and explosion.

May our hearts be always ready if we should be summoned before our Eternal Chief in the midst of our labors.

Through our ministrations to our suffering fellow men, we dedicate our lives humbly to Your praise and glory.

In joy or sorrow, we ask only that you may be pleased with our service, that when the Last Alarm shall have sounded for us, we may receive our eternal assignment with you.

Amen.


May They Not Be Forgotten

Brother when you weep for me
Remember that it was meant to be
Lay me down and when you leave
Remember I'll be at your sleeve

In every dark and choking hall
I'll be there as you slowly crawl
On every roof in driving snow
I'll hold your coat and you will know

In cellars hot with searing heat
At windows where a gate you meet
In closets where young children hide
You know I'll be there at your side

The house from which I now respond
Is overstaffed with heroes gone
Men who answered one last bell
Did the job and did it well

As firemen we understand
That death's a card dealt in our hand
A card we hope we never play
But one we hold there anyway

That card is something we ignore
As we crawl across a weakened floor
For we know that we're the only prayer
For anyone that might be there

So remember as you wipe your tears
The joy I knew throughout the years
As I did the job I loved to do
I pray that thought will see you through
