I got this from:-Joseph Doherty
Cloughfin
Coimrigh Dia is Muire, Colm Cille, Padhraig agus Muire agus Éoghan Bhaistidhe. Fa deidin(?) i luighe is ag éirge dúinn.(They used to say this when going to bed and rising)
There are four corners in my bed,
There are four angels on my spread,
Mathew, Mark, Luke and John.
God bless the bed that I lay on.
(They used to say this when going to bed)
I adore thee O most precious cross which has been adored with the tender delicate and venerable hands and feet. O Our dear Lord Jesus Christ imbued with His most Precious Blood. I adore Thee O most Precious Cross for the love of my Lord and God, Jesus Christ.
(Long ago the people used to say this prayer on Friday and they would release one soul out of purgatory and if they would say it on Good Friday they would release thirty-three souls)
