  1. (continued from previous page)
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four Angels overspread my head
    Martha, Mark, Luke, and John
    God bless this bed that I lie on.

    Oh most mercyful Jesus
    Have mercy on me
    There were five bleeding, and wounded
    Nailed to a tree
    Oh most merciful Jesus
    Have mercy on me
    May my soul and my body
    Risigne unto thee. Amen.

    Here as I lie down to sleep
    I give my soul to God to keep
    Martha, Mark Luke, and John
    God bless this bed that that I lie on.

    Oh Mary Queen of Heaven
    In thy garden bright and fair
    May I come to gather roses
    For they Heavenly home up there
    And I should pluck the wrong one
    May you guide me to the right
    And never may I escape from out of You sight.
