  1. As I lie down to take asleep
    I give my soul to God to keep
    If I die before I wake
    I give my soul to God to take
    There's many a corner in my bed
    There's many an angel at my head
    St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke, St. John
    God bless this bed I lie upon.
    Said also before going to sleep-Holy Mary Queen of Charity, pray for me that I may never die in mortal sin.
