  2. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    The following prayers are said when you get into bed:-
    I lay my body down and sleep,
    I pray to God my soul to keep,
    And if I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to take.
    There are four corners on my bed
    And four dear angels over head
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lay on.
