- (continued from previous page)Four corners in my bed. Four angels underspread
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, God bless this bed that I lie on. If I die before I wake to God I give my soul to keep.I lay my body down to sleep, I give my soul to God to keep, and if I die before I wake I pray to God my soul to take.Here I lay down to sleep, I give my soul to God to keep. If any bad evil touches me oh Blessed Lady waken me.Good Friday Our Lord died pure peace. The Blessed Virgin Mary standing by with a heavy heart.
