    I lay my head down to sleep.
    I give my Soul to God to keep.
    There are four corners on my bed.
    There are four angels on it spread.
    Mathew Mark Luke and John.
    God bless this bed that I lay on.
    If any evil comes to me.
    Our blessed Lady awaken me.
    God attend me God about me.
    God almighty round about me.
    Lady be the branch Lord be the flower.
    God be our guide no and at our dying hour.
    Prayer to St. Brigid.
    Oh glorious St Brigid, Mother of the churches of Erin
    Patroness of our missionary race.
