  1. Night Prayer

    Share Share Post
    Now I lay me down to sleep,
    To God, I give my sould to keep.
    If I die before I wake,
    To God I give my soul to take.
    If any evil spirit come to me
    Oh Blessed Lady waken me.
    One to guard me, two to guide,
    Three to carry my soul["d" struck out] to heaven.
