  1. A Collection of Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Here I lay me down on my right side!
    The Blessed virgin be my guide.
    If anything bad comes across me
    O, hasten Blessed Virgin Mary and save me.
    Here I lay me down to sleep
    to God I give my soul to keep
    And if I die before I wake
    I pray to God my soul to take.
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels on it spread.
    Saints Matthew, Mark, Saints Luke and John
    God bless this bed that I lie on.
    O Merciful Jesus have mercy on me
    My soul and my body I give up to Thee
    O Merciful Jesus have mercy on me
    Jesus the blossom and Mary the flower
    Jesus and Mary be with me
    At my dying hour.
