- As I lay on my bed to sleep
To God I give my soul to keep
Whether I wake now or never
To God I give my soul for ever
There are four corners to my bed
There are four four angels overspread
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless me and the bed that I lay on. Another version
As I lay on my bed to sleep
I pray to God my soul to keep
And if I die before I wake
I play to God my soul to take
There are four corners to my bed
There are four angels overhead
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless me and the bed that I lay on - Jesus the Branch, Mary the Flower.
Jesus be with me at my dying hour.
My heart and my soul I offer to Thee.
O Jesus my Lord have mercy on me.- Informant
