  1. Prayers Learned at Home

    As I lay down my head to sleep.
    To God |I give me soul to keep
    And if I die before I wake
    Oh, Lord of Heaven, my soul take.
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels around them spread.
    Saints Mathew. Mark, Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
    (In time of temptation)
    The cross of Christ between me and the devil
