  1. 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 me
    And two to carry my soul to heaven.
    If I die before I wake
    To God I give my soul to take.
    Matthew, mark, Luke and John
    God Bless this bed that I lie on.
    Jesus the branch, Mary the flower.
    Jesus and Mary be with me all hours.
