    "O Virgin Mary assist me now and at the hour of my death"
    (The following prayer is said at night time before going to rest)
    "Here I lay me down to sleep,
    To Jesus I give my soul to keep
    If any evil spirit come to me
    Queen of heaven awaken me
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels on them spread
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless this bed which I lie on
    God bless myself. Amen."
    Mary the branch, Jesus the flower
    May Jesus and Mary be with me at my dying hour
    The five bleeding wounds nailed to a tree
    O Merciful Jesus have mercy on me.
