- (continued from previous page)Mark Luke and John. God Bless the bed that I lie on. There are four corners on my bed and four Angels over spread If I be dead or die asleep I give my soul to God to keep.
(2) When you lie down in bed fold your arms in the form of a cross and say to yourself I must die, but I don't know when, nor how, nor where, but if I die in mortal sin. I am lost forever.
(3) A prayer for toothache
As Saint Peter sat on a marble stone.
Christ Himself came by alone. And said to Peter. What makes you weep. O Lord I am troubled with the toothache.
Whoever says this prayer three times by night or day shall never fear fever, pain or ache of toothache.
