  1. Prayers

    When going on a journey - May God direct us on the right road and bring us home safe.
    When going to bed -
    This night as I lay down to sleep
    To God I give my soul to keep.
    If I die before I wake
    To God I give my soul to take.
    Four corners to my bed
    Four angels round my head
    One to watch and one to pray
    And two to bear my soul away.
    When relating news of sickness or death -
    God bless the listeners. or
    God save the hearers. or
    May God look on us with an eye of pity or
    God between us and all harm.
    When speaking of someone dead
    "May the Lord have mercy on his soul."
    "God be merciful to him."
    "That heaven may be his bed."
