- Here I lie on my bedside as Goodness lay on Mary’s knee. That the Lord may grant me grace to serve God as He served thee.
When I lie down at night,
I give my soul to God to keep,
Waken now or waken never,
I lay my soul to God forever
On Good Friday before noon,
The Jews they came with spears so sharp [sic]
And pierced Our Saviour through the heart,
His tender Mother standing by with heavy sighs she did cry.
Anyone that says this prayer lying down at night will never die in debt, or deadly sin, or into hell they will never enter.
