    2.. The hands of Christ seem very frail
    For they were broken by a nail
    But only they reach Heaven at last
    Who those frail broken hands hold fast.

  2. 1. God bless, God bless the mark of John
    God bless, God bless the bed I lie on
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels round me spread
    Two at my feet, one at my head
    Ad one to guard my soul to take
    And if I die before I wake
    I give my soul to God to take.
    2. It was on Good Friday Our Saviour died
    It was on Good Friday he was crucified
    The Jews came in with spears so sharp
    And stuck Our Saviour in the heart
    From the heart to the hands
    The blood from His flesh began to flow
    His blessedMother standing by
    And Jesus condemned to die
    Those who say this prayer
