- I lay my body down to sleep
I pray to God my soul to keep
If any evil spirit come to trouble me
May the Blessed Virgin Mary come and wake me.There are four corners on my bed,
There are four angels over it spread,
Mathew, Mark, Luke and John,
God bless the bed that I lie on.I lie on my bed as I lie on my grave
Begging of Jesus my soul to receive
May the bright star of heaven be my guardian flower
And may it be with me at my dying hourJesus son of the living God
His blessed body nail to the cross
Nail my heart to that same cross
With these three nails Faith Hope and Charity.
Amen.(continues on next page)- Collector
