  1. "Four Angels'
    "There are four corners on my bed,
    There are four angels o'er my head,
    One to watch and one to pray,
    And two to carry my soul away.'
    Offerings
    "I offer up all the masses that will be celebrated over the world to-day.
    The body and blood of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
    To the eternal father,
    to make reparation for the sins and sins of the world,
    to apease Gods anger and grant us a blessing for soul and body."
