  1. There are four corners on my bed,
    There are four angels overhead.
    St. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
    And if I die before I wake,
    I pray to God, my soul to take.
    As I lay down to take a sleep
    To God I give my soul to keep
    Let me waken now or never
    To God I give my soul for ever.
