Police-Officer's Prayer

Dear Lord, be with me on my beat
this day and every day.
Grant that each weary block I walk,
may ease a brothers way.

Let me be kindly to the old
and to the young, be strong ~
But let me triumph over those
whose acts are cruel and wrong.

And if according to your plan,
I am to lose my life,
Please bless with your protecting hand
My children and my wife.
