    As I lay on my bed to sleep
    To God I give my soul to keep
    Whether I wake now or never
    To God I give my soul for ever
    There are four corners to my bed
    There are four four angels overspread
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless me and the bed that I lay on.
    Another version
    As I lay on my bed to sleep
    I pray to God my soul to keep
    And if I die before I wake
    I play to God my soul to take
    There are four corners to my bed
    There are four angels overhead
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless me and the bed that I lay on

    Jesus the Branch, Mary the Flower.
    Jesus be with me at my dying hour.
    My heart and my soul I offer to Thee.
    O Jesus my Lord have mercy on me.
