- (continued from previous page)7 "Are you sleeping mother? Dreaming I am. I have dreamt that I saw a blind man coming with a spear in his hand to spill your gentle blood. Is it a true dream mother? "Yes". If you say this prayer three times before you sleep you shall never enter hell. Shut the gates of hell against us. Open the gates of heaven. God's two white hands, shall come to us alone. This prayer should be said when you go to bed.
8. As I go to my bed as I go to my grave, I beg of my Jesus my soul to receive. Queen of bright angels, I hope the Lord shall be my flower. Sweet Jesus Christ be with me now and at my dying hour.
