  1. Night Prayer

    Share Share Post
    As I lay down to sleep
    I give my soul to God to keep.
    In the morning when I rise
    I give my soul to God likewise
    If to-morrow death should be
    Sweet Saviour save my soul to Thee
    Four corners on my bed.
    Four angels on it spread.
    Mathew Mark Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lay on.
