  1. A Prayer

    Share Share Post
    A Prayer (to be said at night)
    As I lie down on my right side
    I beg of God to be my guide
    I beg of God to be the most
    The Father, Son and Holy Goast
    The spear of death and spear of sharp
    And pieced our Savour through the heart.
    The blessed Mother standing by
    With a heavy sign and mournful cry
    Them who say their prayers
    Five times by night five times by day
    Will never die in mortal sin
    And the gates of hell will never enter in
    Collected by Ellen Houten
    From Dan Houten
    Still said in district
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
