  2. Old Prayer Said before Going to Sleep

    Share Share Post
    I have lay down myself to sleep
    I give my soul to God to keep
    If I should die before I awake
    I pray to God my soul to take
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels on its spread
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless this bed that I lie on
    This night and for ever more Amen
