    A prayer when you are in bed
    I leave my body down to sleep. I give my soul to God to keep and if I die before I wake I pray to God my soul to take and if I die in mortal sin I am lost for ever. O Jesus have mercy on me
    A prayer before going to sleep
    I leave my body down to sleep. I give my soul to God to keep. If any evil spirit troubles me the Blessed Virgin waken me
    There are four corners on my bed. There are four angels round my spread. Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. God bless the bed that I lie on
    A prayer of old Irish woman After Communion
    Welcome sweet Lord Jesus
    A hundred thousands welcomes, may the whole world adore thee
