  1. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    1 As I lie down on my right side,
    I pray to God to be my guide,
    If any evil comes near me,
    Christ Jesus come and waken me.
    2 There are four corners on my bed,
    There are four angels at its stead.
    Mathew Mark Luke and John,
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
    This prayer is to be said each night on lying down to sleep

    2 As Christ was walking one day alone
    He met Saint Peter sitting on a marble stone
    What ailest thou Peter and why dost thou quake,
    O my Lord and master it is the toothache.
    Whosoever shall say this prayer for my sake,
    Shall never again be troubled by the toothache,
    This prayer is a sure cure for tooth
