  1. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    As i lay me down to sleep,
    I pray to god my soul to keep.
    If I die before I wake
    I pray to god my soul to take.
    If any evil happens me,
    O Blessed Jesus waken me
    God within me ,God without me
    Twelve Apostles coming about me
    Two at my head,two at my feet,
    Watch me while i am asleep.
    Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
    God bless this bed that I lie on.

    Jesus Father Lamb I pray
    Drive all evil thoughts away
    Be with me night and day
    Sleeping,walking on my way
    When the hour of hours shall sound
    Jesus be within me found,
