  1. An Old Charm to Stop a Bleeding

    Share Share Post
    Jesus of Nazareth was born in Galilee
    He came to the Jordan to be baptised
    The water was clear and the day was good.
    And when Jesus came the waters stood.
    By His word and in His name
    I command this blood to do the same.
    This prayer to be efficacious, must be taught by a man to a woman. In common use and in all cases of severe bleeding.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
