    Here as I lie down on my right side,
    I pray to God to be my guide
    There 'is' four corners on my bed
    There is four angels on my spread
    Matthew, Mark Luke and John
    God bless this bed bed that I lie on.
    If I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to take.
    If any evil thing comes to happen me
    I pray to God to waken me.

    As I lie down to sleep I give my soul to God to keep.
    If any hurt or harm come near me the Blessed Virgin Mary defend and keep me.
    There are four corners on my bed, there are four angels over head
    St. Mathew, St. Mark, St. Luke and St. John, God bless this bed that I lie on.
