  1. I Lie down with God

    Share Share Post
    I lie down with God.
    I lie down with God and may God lie down with me.
    The right hand of God under my head.
    The two hands of Mary round my neck.
    The cross of nine white Angels.
    From the back of my head.
    To the soles of my feet
    May I not lie down with evils.
    And may evil not lie with me.
