- As I lie down on my right side to sleep
I give my soul to God to keep
If any evil death or danger comes over me
Mary, Mary waken me
Heaven the branch, and Mary the flower
And Jesus be with me in my dying hour.
(said after lying down to sleep)As I get up this mornign day
The Lord may keep me from going astray
The Lord may keep me from sin and shame
Wherever I go wherever I be
My heart and soul I give to thee
O Merciful Jesus have mercy on me
(said on awakening)There is four corners on my bed
There is four angels over my spread
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless the bed that I lie on
(Said when lying down to sleep)As I like down my right had side to sleep
I give my soul to Christ to keep
Waken now or waken never
I give my soul to Christ forever
(This prayer is said in bed at night)(continues on next page)- Collector
