  1. (continued from previous page)
    I arise from this bed [of sleep] for the love of Thee,
    Who dids't die on the cross for love of me.
    When the Angelus Bell is ringing
    And your mind from care is free
    And of distant friends you're thinking
    Will you sometimes[think] pray for me.
    As I lie down upon my right side
    I pray to God to be my guide
    If hurt or harm come to me
    O Blessed Lady waken me.
    I lay my body down to sleep
    I pray to God my soul to keep
    And if I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to take.
    The day shall come when I shall die
    And God my Saviour who on high
    Shall come on earth to judge all men
    And no one shall conceal a sin.
