    All my necessity.
    And with a word.
    Thou canst it all supply.
    help other is there none.
    Save Thee alone.
    Without Thee I am undone.
    And so to Thee I cry.
    O be Thou nigh!
    For better far than I.
    Thou knowest Lord
    All my necessity.
    "A Prayer said when going to sleep.
    There are four corners on my bed.
    There are four angels overhead
    One to watch
    One to pray
    Two to carry my soul away.
    And if I die before I wake
    I pray the Lord my soul to take.
    The following prayer is said on awakening in the morning.
    Holy Mary, Virgin Mother,
    Pray to Jesus fro me, and keep me from sin this day.
