  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    As I lie down this night to rest,
    I pray to God my soul to bless.
    There are four corners to my bed
    There are four Angels overhead
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    Bless this bed that I lie on
    And if I die before I wake
    To God I give my soul to take
    If any evil touches me
    Holy Mary save me.
