  1. An Old Prayer

    Share Share Post
    Here I lay me down to sleep
    To god I give my soul to keep
    If I die before I wake.
    I pray to God my soul to take.
    There are four corners on my bed.
    And angels out of Heaven on them spread.
    Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
    God Bless the bed that I lie on.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
