    To be said going to bed:
    I
    When I go to my bed I go to my grave,
    I give up my soul to Christ to receive,
    And if there be any danger to come
    Oh, sweet Jesus save me.
    II
    O Lord preserve me from the greatest of all evils, a sudden or an unprovided death, and may Thou O Gracious Saviour meet with a meek and merciful Countenance at the moment of my departure out of this world.
    III O Holy Mary, my dear Mother, by the love you bear to Almighty God, I ask your help now and at all times especially at the hour of my death. Never leave me till you see me safe in heaven praising you and singing your mercies for ever, Amen.
    "Taught by my mother, R.I.P."
