    Prayers
    Prayers said when "raking" the fire before bed-time:-
    I spare this fire as Christ spares all
    May Jesus and Mary guard us all
    I pray to the Host of Angels bright
    To guard ourselves and our home tonight.
    When going to bed:-
    The Cross of Jesus, Mary and St. Joseph this night may be about us.
    When being in bed:-
    As I lay on my right hand
    I pray God to be my quide
    God bless this bed that I lie on
    There are four corners on my bed
    Four angels on my spread
    And if I die in mortal sin
    That I may never see the depths of hell.
    God Bless Good Friday and Friday too.
    Before bed-time:-
    God bide with us this night
    Again until day
    God and Mary bide with us
