    A Collection of Prayers
    prayer when going to bed
    In this bed I lie down to sleep
    To Good I give my soul to keep
    And if I die before I wake
    To God I give my soul to take
    There are four corners to my bed
    There are four angels at my head
    One to guard me, one to guide me
    Two to carry my soul to Heaven
    St's Mathew Mark Luke and John
    God bless this bed that I lay on
    If an evil comes to me
    Lord Jesus Christ deliver me
    On Good Friday the jews came
    They had a spear both sharp and long
    They drove it through Our Savouirs side
    and through his Heart
    His blessed Mother standing by
    With heavy a moan and pitiful sigh
    Whoever shall say this prayer three
    times by night
    Shall never see the burning fires
