  1. A Prayer

    Share Share Post
    Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John,
    God bless this bed, that I lay on. As I lay on my right hand side, I pray to God to be my guide, Four blessed corners on this bed, four blessed angels on them spread, and if I die before I wake I pray to God, my soul to tale, and if any evil comes to me "O Sweet Jesus awaken me".
