Be without fear in the face of your enemies
Be brave and upright, that God may love thee
Speak the Truth, even if it leads to your Death
Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong
This is your oath
Teach me to be generous;
Teach me to serve you as you deserve
To give and not to count the cost
To fight and not to heed the wounds
To toil and not to seek for rest
To labor and not to ask for reward
Except knowing that I do your will
Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The Courage to change the things that I can,
And the Wisdom to know the difference
Together we are a powerful force
As one Mind, Body, and Soul;
Let no evil enter
Nor attempt to reduce us
Because of the beliefs we hold;
And with this love
Combined with our strength
We ward off pain and stress;
Technician I am, wholeheartedly
In Life and in Death
