   As I lay down on my right side, I pray to God to be my guide, There are four corners on this bed There are four angels on them spread Matthew, Mark, Luke and John God bless this bed that I lie on. When Holy Water is sprinkled the grandmother of Peader Carney says 'Holy Water save our souls'. When the Rosary is finished she says 'Gods blessing on the souls of the dead'

   Whoever says this prayer three times a day and three times a night shall never feel the pains of hell. On a golden Friday the Jews day the Jews had a spear that pierced our Lord from Heart to hand, through and through, the Blessed Virgin standing by with many and tear and woefulery.
   If God sends you any suffering say this prayer
   Shall Jesus bear the cross alone
   and let the world go free,
   No, there's a cross for everyone
