    A Collection of Prayers
    Prayer said going to bed
    As I go to my bed, as I go to my grave
    I hope in the Lord my soul may be saved
    Lord of the branch, Lady of the flower
    I hope the Sweet Jesus be with me at my last hour
    As I lie down to sleep I give my soul to God to keep
    And if I die before I wake Lord Jesus Christ my soul may take
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels over head
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless the bed I lay me in
    Waken now, waken ever
    I give my soul to God forever
    As I was going through the happy land I met the Blessed Virgin and mass books in her hand.
    Bells ringing Priests singing the true lamb of God - open the gates of heaven, close the gates of hell
    Let the sinners in, they that say their prayers three times a day shall never suffer the pains of hell
