    A prayer said in bed at Night.
    As I lie down this night to sleep,
    I give my soul to God to keep,
    That I may waken now or never,
    I give my soul corners on my bed,
    There are four angels at my head
    Mathew, mark, Luke, and John.
    God bless this bed that I lie on,
    If any evil spirit comes to trouble me
    Holy Mary waken me.
    When the lamp is lit.-
    The light of Heaven to our souls.
    When yous ee the moon this is said.-
    I see the moon and the moon sees me,
    God bless the moon and God bless me.
