    The Lord sits on the Lady's knee,
    To let no spirits waken me,
    When I am asleep I cannot see,
    Sweet Jesus and the Blessed Trinity waken me,
    Sleep never, sleep never,
    To God I give my heart forever.

    A night Prayer
    May the will of God be done by us
    May the death of the Saints be won by us
    And the light of the Kingdom begun in us
    May Jesus the Child, be beside my bed
    May the Lamb of Mercy uplift my head
    May the Virgin Mary be brightness shed
    And Michael be steward of my soul. Amen.
