  1. 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.
