소방관의 기도

Fireman's Prayer

어디에서든

화염이 솟아 오르는 곳으로,

출동 해야 할 때에,

나의 주님,

When I'm called to duty, God,

wherever flames may rage.

여느 나이이든,

생명들을 구원할 수 있는 힘을

저에게 주소서.

Give me strength to save a life

whatever be its age.

너무 늦기 전에

어린 아이를 껴 안으면서,

Help me to embrace a little child

before it is too late

공포에 떠는 노인을 구할 수 있도록

저를 도우시며.

Or save an older person from

the horror of that fate.

불길에 묻혀 가는 신음소리에

집중하면서

Enable me to be alert

to hear the weakest shout

효과적으로

불을 신속히 끌 수 있는

능력을 저에게 허락소서.

And quickly and efficiently

to put the fire out.

모든 이웃을 보호하면서

이들의 재산을 지켜내는

I want to fill my calling and

to give the best in me.

임무를

최선 다해,

완수해 내기 저는 원하나이다.

To guard my every neighbor

and protect their property.

그러다가,

주님의 뜻에 따라

생명을 잃어야 하거든

And if according to Your will

I have to lose my life,

저의 아이들과 아내가 주님의 손길로

보호받는

Please bless with Your protecting
hand

축복을 제게 허락하소서.

my children and my wife.

Fireman's
Prayer by A. W. "Smokey" Linn of Wichita, Kansas

----------------------------------------

When I am called to duty, God
whenever flames may rage,
Give me the strength to save some life
Whatever be its age.

Help me to embrace a little child
Before it’s too late,
Or some 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 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,
Please bless with Your protecting hand
My children and my wife

History of the Fireman's Prayer
While most accounts of the Firemen’s Prayer conclude with Author Unknown, the world renowned poem was written by Firefighter A.W. “Smokey” Linn. As a young firefighter in 1958 Linn and his crew responded to a fire in which three children were trapped behind security bars and died in the fire.

The only way he could find to ease the pain of such a tragedy was to sit down and put his thoughts on paper. The phrase, “enable me to be alert and hear the weakest shout”, sends a chill up a firefighter’s spine as you imagine what he experienced on that fateful night. It was a particularly tough time for him as he had young children around the same age.

His granddaughter, Penny McGlachlin said that back then there were no grief counselors to help the firefighters. Penny believes this was an actual prayer from him, to god for the sake of his own family, the other fireman, and the families of the children.

Smokey joined the Wichita, Kansas Fire Department in 1947 after returning from World War 2. He retired in 1975 and became president of the local chapter of the Good Sam Camping Club. He passed away March 31, 2004 of complications following surgery.

The Fireman’s Prayer was originally published in a book called, “A Celebration of Poets” in 1958. The last copyright of the book was 1998. It is the family’s desire that the credit for the Firemen’s Prayer go to the author, A.W. Smokey Linn.
