- (continued from previous page)For ever and for aye.Bed-time prayer:-
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
God Bless this bed that I lie on
Even tho' its of straw
May I wake before I die.Bed-time Prayer:-
On this bed I lay my body down to sleep
There are four corners on my bed
Four angels spread
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless this bed that I lie on.
And if I die before I wake
I give to God, my soul to take.Bed-time PrayerGod Bless Good Friday and Friday too. Friday was the day Our Lord was crucified. The Jews struck Our Lord across the hands and heart and a crown of thorns upon his head. God bless the people who say their prayers three times at night and three times a day. They never die in mortal sin, never see the depths of Hell. Amen.Bed-time Prayer:-(continues on next page)
