- In bygone days the old Irish had prayers to say beginning every work. Going to Bed
As I lay down to sleep
I leave my soul to God to keep
St. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless the bed that I lay onWhen the Sky is Dark
When the sky would be dark and gloomy they used to say "As in the day of thy resurrection
When the sky did shake and rock
O Lord God of Heaven and Earth
Defend us from an earthquake shock.
