Lord, grant me the wisdom so that I may treat
those of your children that lay at my feet.
Let my hands be gentle, sure and swift
to impart to them your sacred gift.
Let me see only a patient's need
not their wealth, status, or creed.
Help me always to be my best
during the most tragic test.
Grant me the insight to understand why
patients of mine are going to die.
Let me remember that when they do
they go to heaven with you.
Lord, if in the time of duty I should fall
help your other medics to hold their heads tall.
For it was You who chose me
to serve my community.
