  1. Folk Prayers

    I looked out on blessed land
    I saw the Blessed Virgin
    Seven mass books in her hand
    Seven priests singing
    Seven bells ringing
    Seven candles lighting
    Shut the gates of Hell
    And open the gates of Heaven
    Let the poor souls go up
    Amen.

    Loan a manger for a bed
    Little Lord Jesus lie down
    On his dear head
