It was on Good Friday,
On Good Friday it was,
The day the Jews were passing by,
With iron spikes in their hands,
They pierced Our Saviour from hand to heart,
There are four corners in my bed
Four blessed angels overhead
Matthew, Mark, Luke + John
God bless the bed that I lie on
May Keane (Kilcrona)

God bless me + my wife,
My son John + his wife
Us four + no more
Amen.IV
Matthew, Mark Luke + John,
God bless this bed that I lie on.
And if I die before I wake
To you I give my soul to take
(Susan Haugh) from her mother
