    Another night prayer is as follows. It is a child's prayer
    Here in my little bed I lie
    Looking upward towards the sky
    Jesus Christ is there above
    Looking down on me with love
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels overspread
    One to sing & one to pray
    And one to carry my soul away.
