- 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,

This prayer is to be said each night on lying down to sleep

This prayer is a sure cure for tooth(continues on next page)- Collector
