- (continued from previous page)Joseph with a branch, Mary with a flower. The Lord be with me in my dying hour.
When Christ he saw the Cross appear He began to tremble. The Jews asked Him was it the ague. He made answer “No”. Anyone who says this prayer and keeps it in memory shall never take the ague or any other fever.
I lay my body down to sleep
I pray to God my soul to keep, and if I die before I wake, I pray to God my soul to keep.
As I lay me down to sleep, I give my soul to God to keep, waken now or waken never
I give my soul to God to keep forever.
St. Peter sat upon a stone, and by comes Jesus all alone. And says He to Peter “what makes you ache?” “My Lord and Saviour it is the toothache.
Anyone that will repeat these words for My Sake shall never be tormented with the toothache.
