  1. A Collection of Prayers

    When going to bed.
    There are four corners on my bed
    And on there are four angels spread
    Mat and Mark Luke and John
    God bless this bed that I be on
    If I die before I wake
    I will give my soul to God to take
    If any evil comes to me
    Oh Blessed Virgin Mary you save me.
    Lord be my branch! Lady be my flower
    Our sweet Saviour Jesus Christ be at my dying hour.
