  1. Paidreacha - Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Here I am laid down to sleep.
    To God I give my sould to keep.
    And If I die before I wake.
    I beg of God my soul to take
    O', Mother of God remember me.
    There are four corners on my bed
    Four angels on them spread.
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless this bed I do lay on
    And if any evil come to me
    May Jesus defend me
    That I may have my right hand to bless me
    And my eyes to see
    Amen, sweet Jesus Amen
    The above prayer to be said before going to sleep.
    As I lay down to sleep
    The cross of Jesus at my head.
    The cross of Jesus at my feet
    Jesus is a branch
    Mary is a flower.
    Jesus and Mary may be with me at all hours.
    Heart of Jesus I adore thee
    Heart of Mary I implore thee
    Heart of Joseph pure and just
    In these three hearts I place my trust.
