    One to watch and one to pray,
    And one to carry my soul away.
    I lay me down to rest. Bless me O Lord, Defend and govern me. And after this short and miserable pilgrimage, bring me to life everlasting.
    Amen!
    I lay my body down to sleep
    I pray to God my soul to keep,
    And if I die before I wake
    I pray to God to my soul to take.
    Amen!
