- Oh God I know I have to die. I don't when or where or how, or what time. but if I die in the state of mortal sin, I'm lost forever. Sweet Jesus have mercy on me.
Amen
- As I lie down on this bed to sleep,
I give my soul to God to keep,
As there are four corners on my bed,
There are four bright angels over head,
St Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John,
God bless the bed that I lie on,
And if I die before I wake,
I give my soul to God to take. - Collector
