  1. A Prayer

    Share Share Post
    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.
