- Recited by parents for little ones on retiring to sleep at night.(1) There are four corners in my bed.There are four angels over my head.One to guard me, one to guide meAnd two to carry my soul to heaven.If I die before I wakeTo God I give my soul to take.Matthew, mark, Luke and JohnGod Bless this bed that I lie on.Jesus the branch, Mary the flower.Jesus and Mary be with me all hours.
- (2)Jesus tender Shepherd, hear one, listen to the little child tonightThrough the darkness be Thou near me, keep me safe till morning light.All this day Thy hand has led me and I thank thee for thy light care,Those who warm and clothe and feed me, listen to my evening prayer.Let my sins be all forgiven, bless the friends I love so well,Take me when I die to heaven, happy there with thee to dwell.
