A Fireman’s Prayer

When I am called to duty, God
Wherever flames may rage,
Give me strength to save some 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
To the weakest shout
And quickly and efficiently
To put the fire out.

I want to fill my calling card
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 family, friends and those who have touched my life.



Every Chaplain has a different way of praying, conducting a service or even preparing for a sermon. This page is dedicated to those Chaplains who wish to share their “secret to serving God” with other Chaplains. Please send us your favorite prayer, hymn, poem or story.
