- Long ago the old people had a lot of prayers. They had a prayer for everything they did. When they would be getting up in the morning they would say :-
Good morning, bright day,
Sweet Jesus guard me the right way,
Keep my soul from sin,
My body from shame,
I get up this morning in God's holy Name. And when they would be going to bed they would say :-
As I lie down to sleep,
I give my soul to God to keep,
If any evil touches me,
Blessed Virgin save me.(continues on next page)- Collector
