    Night
    As I lay me down to sleep,
    To God I give my soul to keep,
    And if I die before I wake,
    To God I give my soul to take.
    There are four corners in my bed,
    There are four Angels at my head,
    One to guide me, two to guard,
    And one to carry my soul to God.
    Eyes of the Mother of God look down on me now and at the hour of my death. Amen.
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    Bless the bed I lie upon.
    Going on a journey
    "God speed all travellers."
    "That your journey may thrive with you."
    Starting a work
    "May God direct us "
