- Prayer of an Old Irish Woman
My loving Lord ‘ A Thousand Welcomes’ & Son of Mary. I love you indeed I do. Who am I at all that you should come next or near me. O God in Heaven make a little corner for me in your heart, and never while there is life in me let me lose my place there, and after death may I still hide there. Amen
Have pity on me, O Blessed Mother. Talk to my God for me. Tell Him, I am a poor ignorant creature, full of sin and misery, but that I love you His own dear Mother, that I am a poor servant , and for your sake to help and pity me. Amen.
As I lie on my bed to sleep
I give my soul to God to keep.
There are four corners on my bed
Four angels at my head.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
God Bless the bed that I lie on.
