- There are four corners on my bed,
There are four angels at my head,
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
God bless the bed that I lie on.God save this fire as Christ saved all, May Mary and Briget protect those walls. We pray to the hosts of angels bright to guard our house and our home to night.As I lie down on my bed to sleep, to God above I give my soul to keep: if any evils come to me. Hail Mary save me.- Collector
