When I start my tour of duty God,

Wherever crime may be,

As I walk the darkened Streets alone,

let me be close to thee.

Please give me understanding

with both the young and old

Let me listen with attention

until their story told.

Let me never make a judgement

in a rash or callous way,

But let me hold my patience,

let each man have his say.

Lord, if some dark and dreary night,

my life you choose to end,

Lord with your understanding

love protect my family and my friends.

When I am called to duty, God,

wherever flames may rage,

Give me strength to save some life,

whatever be it's age.

Help me embrace a little child

before its to late,

Or save some older person

from a most uncertain fate.

Enable me to be alert

and hear the weakest shout

And quickly and efficiently

to put the fire out.

And if according to my fate,

my days should come to end,

Please bless with your protecting hand

my family and my friends.
