- The following prayers are said when you get into bed:-
I lay my body down and sleep,
I pray to God my soul to keep,
And if I die before I wake,
I pray to God my soul to take.There are four corners on my bed
And four dear angels over head
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless the bed that I lay on.- Collector
