  1. When people were sick long ago, they had an old prayer to say "The Lord will not take me with an unprovided death".
    This prayer was said long ago by the people at night
    "May the Lord shed his grace on us to-night
    And may we be guided by his light".
    In bed at night
    "Take me up to heaven soon Lord"
