    Grace of God about us all.
    Matchew, Mark, Luke and John.
    God bless this bed, that I lie on.

    I pray to God my soul to take.

    This prayer which is very ancient is said when going to bed. -:
    I lay my body down to sleep.
    I pray to God my soul to keep.
    But, if I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to take.
    Another prayer said when going to bed.
    Jesus I live for you.
    Jesus I die for you.
    Jesus I am yours in life and in death.
    May I receive Jesus before I die,
