  2. Traditional Prayers

    Share Share Post
    As I lay down my head to sleep,
    I give my soul to God to keep,
    There are four corners on my bed.
    There are four angels overhead,
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless this bed that I lie on,
    If I die before morning,
    Holy Mary come and take me.
