Our Father All-Merciful!
Don’t abandon your own long-suffering Russia
In her present daze,
In her woundedness,
Impoverishment,
And confusion of spirit.
Lord Omnipotent!
Don’t let, don’t let her be cut short,
To no longer be.
So many forthright hearts
And so many talents
You have lodged among Russians.
Do not let them perish or sink into darkness
Without having served in Your name.
Out of the depths of Calamity
Save your disordered people.
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.
Little lamb, God bless thee! 小羔羊上帝保佑你。. 作者: rabbithong 时间: 2011-1-27 11:39 标题: 消防祈禱文
Fireman's Prayer【原文】
When I am called to duty, God,
whenever flames may rage;
Give me 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 neighbor and
protect his property.
And if, according to my fate, I am
to lose my life;
Please bless with your protecting
hand my children and my wife.
