  1. A Collection of Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Said after going into bed at night
    "There are four corners in my bed
    There are four angels overhead
    St Matthew, St Mark, St Luke & St John
    God bless this bed that I lie on
    And if I die before I wake
    To God I give my soul to take."
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.

    Ml Hearne gives another version:-
    "Matthew, Mark, Luke & John!
    There are four corners in my bed
    There are four angels at my head
    One to watch & one to pray
    & two to bear my soul away."
