- Prayer before lying down ; [?] ask God to protect you during the night;
" Here I lay me down to sleep
I give my soul to God to keep
Christ my Father at my head
Mother Mary at my feet
If anything should happen me
Merciful Jesus have mercy on me.""There are four posters to my [?] bed
Four angels early spread
St Mathew, St Mark, St Luke, St John,
God bless the bed I lie on."I learned these two old prayers from a man named Dick Clerkin Carson. He was a very kind holy old man. He died at an advanced age in 1938.- Collector
