- (continued from previous page)To God I give my soul to take,
There are four corners to my bed
There are four angels around me spread
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless the bed that I lie on.Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless this bed that I lie on,
If any evil come to me,
Blessed Virgin awaken me.
And if I die before I wake
I pray to God my soul to take.O Mary, my Mother, and my hope,
I take refuge under thy mantle,
there let me live and die, but deliver me from all evil, and grant me thy holy blessing.There are four corners to my bed,
And there are four angels spread
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Bless this bed that I lie on
If any evil comes to me
Blessed Virgin awaken me.
