    Jews save me and all belonging to me from a sudden and unprovided death during this night.
    *There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels over-head.
    Matthew,Mark,Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
    (This is said when going to bed at night.)
    *As I lay down my head to sleep
    I give my soul to God to keep.
    Waken now or waken never
    I give my soul to God forever.
    (This is also said when going to bed at night by the old people.)
