    When lying down people should say:
    "As I lie down to take a sleep,
    I give my soul to God, to keep,
    If any evil spirits come to me,
    Oh, Good Jesus waken me".
    "That God may never call anyone of us away in a deplorable state of mortal sin or by the message of sudden death. That He may give us true knowledge of our sins and grace to confess them, the grace of a happy death and a favourable judgement".
    When dreaming in the morning,
    Oh my God clothe my soul with the nuptial robe of charity, that I may wear it pure and undefiled before Thy judgement seat.
    When retiring to rest
    As I go to my bed, I go to my grave
    I beg of my Lord Jesus my soul to save
    Waken now or waken never
    I give my soul to God forever.
    As I take off my clothes.
    I pray that God may loose the sins from me
