When I'm 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 children and my wife
