  1. May God grant me grace and make a good boy of me. Holy Mary queen of charity pray for me that I may not die in the state of mortal sin. Amen.
    Here I lie on my right side,
    Jesus and Mary to be my guide,
    Jesus the branch, Mary the flower,
    Jesus and Mary be with me at my dying hour. Amen
    There are four corners on my bed,
    There are four Angels on them spread,
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
    God bless this bed that I lie on,
    And if I die before I wake,
    To God I give to God my soul to take
    I trace the letters with my finger I.N.R.I
