1. Fire brings light in the dark of the night.
2. Help our good turns bring light to those in need.

1. Fire gives us heat to cook our meals.
2. Help us not to waste food, and to remember the hungry of the world.

1. Fire, used carelessly, can destroy.
2. Help us to use it, like all your gifts, in the right way.

1. Fire's dancing colours bring us beauty and joy.
2. Help us to spread happiness in a world that is often grey and sad.

1. We watch the fire with care, lest it leap out of control.
2. Help us to watch our words with care, lest we hurt a friend.

1&2. For fire, and for all your gifts, we give You thanks.
