    sleep I give my soul to God to keep and if I die before I wake God will have my soul to take.
    "May the will of God be done to us. May the death of Saints be won by us and the light of the Kingdom begin in us. May Jesus the Child be beside my bed. May the Lamb of Mercy uplift my head. May the Virgin Mary her brightness shed and Michael be steward of my soul". Amen.
    There are four corners on my bed. There are four angels overhead. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. God bless the bed that I lie on.
