  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    To be said going to bed.
    As I lie down on my right side,
    I pray to God to be my guide,
    and if I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to take.
    To be said going to bed.
    There are four corners on my bed,
    There are four angels on them spread,
    One to watch and one to pray,
    and two to bear my soul away.
