- A Night Prayer.
"May the Will of God be done by us,
"May the death of the Saints be won by us,
May Jesus the Child be beside my bed,
May the Lamb of Mercy uplift my head
May the Virgin Mary her brightness shed
And St Joseph be steward to my soul.
Amen.
When any person died they used say
"Lord have Mercy on the dead."
When any trouble came on them they said "God's Will be done." When passing a Church where the Blessed Sacrament was, they said "My Lord I know you are there." , le linn dul a chodhlad duit abair:- A Íosa, a Mhuire, a Sheosaimh tugam suas dhíob mo chroide agus agus m'anam.
A Íosa, a Mhuire a Seosamh bíd ag cabhrú liom le linn mo bháis.
A Íosa a Mhuire a Sheosaimh go dtugaidh suas m'anam dióbh, i Siothcháin Dé.
Isteach i do láimh féin go n-glacair úaim mo sprid a Thigearna go nglacair uaim A Thigearna Íosa.(continues on next page)
