    Prayer said when going to bed:-
    As I lay down on my right side
    I pray to God to be my guide.
    If anything harms me,
    Blessed Lady waken me
    If I die before I wake
    The Almighty God my soul take.
    Another night prayer:-
    In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
    Crucified, I lay me down to rest,
    May He bless, govern me and reserve
    me and bring me to life everlasting. Amen.
    Night Prayer:-
    Here I lay me down to sleep,
    I give my soul to God to keep
    If anything comes to hurt or harm me,
    Blessed Michael waken me.
    There are four corners round mm bed.
    There are four angels oe'r my head
    Mathew, Mark,Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lie on:
    If I die before I wake,
    I give my soul to God to take.
