- "As I lie on my bed 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.There are four corners in my bed,
And four angels to guard my head -
Sts. Matthew, Mark, Luke & John.
God bless the bed that I lie on(On Good Friday the Jews stuck Our Saviour through the heart & side & everyone that says this little prayer, at night, will never see the burning fires of Hell.) Amen.). This prayer is said after going to bed. - "God bless Friday & Good Friday too - the Friday Our Saviour was crucified by the wicked Jews. His Blessed Mother who was standing by had a sorrowful heart & a mournful cry. (He who says this prayer for me three times by day & three times by night death nor danger he need not fear - nor yet the Seven Deadly Sins - the gates of Hell he ne'er shall enter in.
