    1.
    Here I Iay down
    Myself to sleep
    I give my soul
    To God to keep
    If I die
    Before I wake
    I pray to God
    My soul to take.
    I learned this prayer from my grand-mother Mrs. Devine of Boyerstown. It is said going to bed at night.

    Heart of Jesus I implore thee
    Heart of Mary I adore thee
    Heart of Joseph true and just
    In these three hearts I place my trust.
    I learned this prayer from my mother. It is said when a storm is coming.
