  1. A Prayer

    Share Share Post
    As I lie (down) on my right hand
    side I pray to God to be my guide
    there are four corners on my bed
    I hope four angels on its spread
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless this bed that I lie on
    and if I die before I wake I pray
    to God my soul to take.
