  1. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Long ago the people said the following prayer when going to bed
    "When I lay down my right hand,
    I pray to god to be my guide,
    There are four corners on my bed,
    There are four angels on them spread
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
    God bless this bed that I lie on.
    A Night Prayer
    When I lie on my right hand side
    I pray to God to be my guide
    When evils come to me Our Blessed Lady will waken me
    God within, God without God bless
    All about this house
    Four corners on my bed
    Four angels on them spread
    Saints,Mark, Matt, Luke and John
    God bless this bed that I lie on
    If I die before I wake I pray of God my soul betake, Amen
    When the Clock Strikes
    Oh Lord this hour I give to thee
    For all the past pardon me
    I know that I must soon depart
    Then hide me in thy Sacred Heart
