    Here I lay down my head to sleep

    (continued from previous page)
    Lamb of God open the gates and let us in,
    Out comes the big long spear
    That pierced Our Saviour through his side
    "Mother are you asleep",
    "No I'm watching my Lord and Saviour.
    If you repeat this prayer three times
    Before you lie in bed
    Their soul will never be damned in Hell.
