    Prayers
    1. Prayers said when going to sleep
    Here I lay me down to sleep,
    To God I give my soul to keep.
    If I die before I wake
    Jesus and Mary my soul may keep.
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
    Bless the bed that I lie on,
    Four corners to my bed four angels there to spread
    Two at my head and two at my feet,
    One at my heart my soul to keep
    When putting out the light
    God grant us the light of heaven
    I.N.R.I on the forehead
    Jesus of Nazareth king of the Jews
    Save us from a sudden and unprovided death this night
