When I am called to duty, God, wherever Flames may rage

Give me the 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 and 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 every neighbour and protect their property

And if according to your will I have to lose my life

please bless with your protecting hand my children and my wife
