  1. A Prayer before you Sleep

    Share Share Post
    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'
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
