    As I lay down my head to sleep,
    I give to God my soul to keep,
    If any evil comes near me,
    O Blessed Lady assist me.
    There are four corners on my bed,
    There are four angels overhead,
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God Bless the Bed that I lay on,
    Glory be to the branch
    Lady be to the flower
    O sweet Jesus be with me at my dying hour, Amen
