  2. Prayers

    As I lay down my head to sleep,
    I give my soul to God to keep.
    If I ever waken now or ever.
    I give my soul to God for ever.
    Mat and Mark Luke and John
    May bless the bed that I lay on.
    There are four corners on by bed
    There are four angles round me spread.
    If I any evil thing shall disturb me in my sleep. Look down on me sweet Jesus now and the hour of my death. Amen.
