  1. Old Prayer

    Share Share Post
    There are 4 corners on my bed
    There are 4 angels round it spread
    Matthew Mark Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lie on
    And if I die before I wake
    To God I give my soul to take.
    I lie on my bed as I lie on my grave
    Begging of Jesus my soul for to save
    Jesus my branch and Mary my flower
    Jesus Mary and Joseph assist me now
    And in my dying hour.
