    Old Prayers
    Night:
    I lay me down my night hand side I pray to god my soul to guide and if i die before i wake i pray to good my soul to take
    Morning:
    Oh! My God my only good! the other of my being and my last End! Clothe my soul with a nuptial robe of charity And grant that I may wear it pure and undefiled before thy judgment seat in heaven
    Children's prayers when lying down in bed for the night:- There are four corners on my bed,There are four angels on their spread,Matthew,Mark Luke,John God bless me! and this bed that i lie on.
    As I was going up holy Erin, I met the blessed Virgin- Seven Gospels in her hand
    seven bells ringing Sevens Priests singing shut the gates of hell and open the gates of heaven and let the poor souls in for ever and for ever Amen!
