  1. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    1. I lay my body down to sleep
    I pray to God my soul to keep
    And if I die before I wake
    I pray to God my soul to take.
    2. A Harvest Prayer
    Lord, grant that the greater harvest
    Which You came on Earth to save
    May be golden and ripe for the reaping
    Ere we go to the lonely grave.
    That our soul in the last dread Autumn
    May be clean as the hill and lea
    When we bring life's grain to the haggard
    And offer it all to thee.
    3. When we begin work
    Live, Jesus, live, so live in me
    That all I do be done for thee
    All that I do or think or say
    Throughout the coming day.
    4. There are four corners on my bed
