  1. Another Prayer on Going to Sleep

    Share Share Post
    (1)
    As I lie down to sleep
    I give my soul to God to keep
    If I should die before I wake
    I pray to God my soul to take
    (2)
    There are four corners in my bed
    There are four Angels overspread
    Mathew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lie on
    (3)
    Oh! Jesus the Branch
    Oh Mary the flower
    Oh Jesus be with me at every hour
    Oh Jesus Mary and Joseph I give
    You my heart and my soul.
