  1. Old Prayers

    (i)
    "I see the new moon, the moon sees me,
    Got bless the new moon, God bless me"
    (ii)
    "There I lay me down to sleep
    I give my soul to God to keep
    And if there is anything to happen me
    I pray to God to waken me
    And if I die before I wake
    I pray to God my Soul to take
    Rise now, Rise never
    I give my Soul to God forever.
    Sweet Jesus sit on Mary's knees
    To grant me grace to honour three
    Upon Mount Calvary the bloody sweat.
    The by those who say
    This prayer three times by night
    Three times by day
    Shall never enter the gates of hell"
    (iii)
    Here I lay me down to sleep
    To God I give me soul to keep
    As there is four corners on my bed
    As there are four angels on each stead
