- (continued from previous page)God bless this bed that I lie onIf any evil thing come near me
I hope the Blessed Virgin will come and save me.Another version of the above prayer is as follows:-Here I lay me down to sleep
to God I give my soul to keep
God within me, God without me
God Almighty all round about meThere are four corners on my bed
There are four angels overspread
Mathew, Mark, Luke & John
God bless this bed that I lie on.God the father bless me
God the son defend and keep me
God the Holy Ghost .... and sanctify me
Amen(continues on next page)- Collector
