- (continued from previous page)Local Prayers
Prayers said when going to bed.
4 Trace the letters I.N.R.I on your forehead with your thumb and say.
Jesus of Nazareth, king of the Jews
Through the merits of the same Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen,
May the sols of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest in peace. Amen.
5 Every hour I give to thee
For the past pardon me.
For I know I soon depart,
Hide me in Thy Sacred Heart,
O Lord Thou should stand under my roof.
Say only the word and my soul shall be healed.
6 Here I leave down my head to sleep,
To God I give my soul to keep.
And if anything should happen me
I trust in the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God to waken me,
There are four corners in my bed.
There are four angels overhead
St. Matthew, St. Mark, St. Luke and John
God bless the bed that I lie on.(continues on next page)- Collector
