- As i lay me down to sleep,
I pray to god my soul to keep.
If I die before I wake
I pray to god my soul to take.
If any evil happens me,
O Blessed Jesus waken me
God within me ,God without me
Twelve Apostles coming about me
Two at my head,two at my feet,
Watch me while i am asleep.
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
God bless this bed that I lie on.
Jesus Father Lamb I pray
Drive all evil thoughts away
Be with me night and day
Sleeping,walking on my way
When the hour of hours shall sound
Jesus be within me found,(continues on next page)- Collector
