    (continued from previous page)
    Now while I lie down to sleep
    To God I give my soul to keep
    And if I die before I wake
    To God I give my soul to take.
    May the adornable name of Jesus be the sweet, and daily music of my soul, and the seal of my heart, and when in the agony and cold sweat of death, I give the last look for mercy, may the parting sigh of my soul be Jesus and sweet Jesus for ever Amen.
    Jesus within me. Jesus without me,
    Twelve apostles all around me
    If there is an evil spirit come to offend me
    Jesus, Mary, and Joseph will defend me
