- Here I lie down to sleep, I give my soul to God to keep, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John God bless this bed that I lie on.
As I walked out through the Holy Land I met the Blessed Virgin Mary and seven mass books in her hands, seven priests singing seven bells ringing, seven candles lighting all at the same time saying shut the gates of Heaven and let the poor souls in. On Good Friday the Jews came with sharp spears to spear our Blessed Saviour. The blood leaped from heart to hand our Blessed Lady standing by with a heavy heart and a dreadful moan saying : "Anyone that shall say this prayer three times both night and shall be free from hell, fire and danger and shall enter the kingdom of Heaven. Amen.
Oh, Angel of God my guardian dear,
To whom his love commits me there,
Ever this day be at my side,
To light, to rule to guard and guide.
