    If any evil troubles me
    O' Blessed Lady waken me,
    There are four corners on my bed.
    There are four Angels on them spread,
    Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
    God bless me and the bed I lie on.
    "As I lie on my bed as I go to my grave,
    O Lord of Heaven my soul to receive,
    Lord be my branch
    Lady be my flower,
    Lord Jesus be with me at my last dying house.
    As I went into the Blessed land
    I met the Blessed Virgin with
    seven Mass books in her hand,
    Seven bells ringing,
    Seven priests singing,
    Shut the gates of hell.
    Open the gates of Heaven,
    and let my poor soul in"
