  1. My Aunt taught me to say these prayers before going to bed.
    Jesus heavenly shepherd hear me.
    Bless thy child tonight. Through the darkness be Thee near me keep me safe until morning light. All this day
    Thy hand has lead me and I thank Thee for Thy care. Let my sins be all forgiven bless the friends I love so well. When I die take me to heavenhappy there with thee to dwell.
    Four corners around my bed.
    Four angels around my head to
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
