A collection of prayers\When gong to bed at night:-
Here I lay down upon my bed to sleep,
To God I give my should to keep,
There are four corners of my bed,
There are four angels to light and spread,
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
God bless this bed that I lie on,
If any evil comes to me,
I pray Blessed Lady waken me,
And if I die before I wake,
I pray to God my sold to take.
Some people say the end of the prayer different they say:
If any evil spirit comes to me,
I pray to God my woes to see,
And my right hand to bless myself. Amen.
When a person would be going a journey he would say:- "God grant me a safe journey" and on the rest used say, God grant or Amen. When going past the graveyard they used say, "God grant eternal rest to them".
