- As I lay down my right hand side
I pray to God to be my guide
If any evil comes to me
May the Blessed Virgin Mary come and waken me
There are four corners on my bed
And four bright angels on them spread
Two at my head and two at my feet
And four to carry me when I am dead
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
God bless me and God bless the bed that I lay on.
If I chance to die before I wake
I pray to God my soul to take
Anyone (that) who says this prayer three times a night they will never enter the gates of hell.who = who = who = who = who- Collector
