    As I lie on my bed this night
    I pray to God to be my guide
    If any evil thing comes near me
    Oh blessed Lady keep it from me.
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels on them spread
    Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and, John
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
    Lord be the branch
    Lady be the flower
    O Lord Jesus waken me at my very last hour.
