- As I lie down on my right side
I pray to God to be my guide;
If any evil come to me,
Oh Blessed Lady, waken me.
There are four corners on my bed
There are four angels over head
Mathew, Mark, Luke and John,
God bless the bed that I lie on.
And if I die before I wake
I pray to God my soul to take
Through Jesus Christ, Our Lord, Amen.- Collector

- Oh my Lord Jesus, wherever I be,
My heart and my soul are given to Thee,
In honour of Thy five wounds,
When nailed on the Tree,
Oh my Lord Jesus, have mercy on me.(continues on next page)
