When I'm called to duty God, Wherever flames may rage

Give me strength to save a life Whatever be it's age

Help me to 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 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

Fireman's Wife

The table's set, The meal's prepared, Our guests will soon arrive.

My husband once more disappears with a hope of keeping a child alive

While waiting at home again alone, Our plans having gone awry

My first impulse is merely to sit down and cry.

But soon again I realize the importance of my life

When I agreed to take on the duties of being a fireman's wife

While there are many drawbacks, I'll take them in my stride

The gusting winds and raging flames may be his final fate,

But with God's help I can remain my fireman's faithful mate.
