    Shades of evening dark (is) are falling,
    Day is fdding into gloom, (fading)
    While the shades of death is near us,
    Lead Thy exiled children home,
    There are four corners on this bed,
    There are four angels overhead,
    Mathew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lie on,

    I say these prayers every night.
