A Fire Chief’s Prayer

God grant me your guidance

In the task I must do,

To command with Your wisdom

The men of my crew.

Give me the fore-sight

As chief I will need,

To make quick decisions

And the courage to lead.

When each call of distress

Fall loud on my ear,

Give me knowledge and faith

Not confusion and fear.

Let me draw from Your strength

When efforts are in vain,

And destruction and life loss

Are all that remain.

Send words of comfort

For me to share,

With those who have lost

And are in despair.

So please, these virtues

Bestow unto me,

And make the Fire Chief

You want me to be!
