  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    As I lie down to sleep,
    To God I give my sould to keep.
    And if I die before I wake
    To God I give my soul to take.
    There are four corners on my bed,
    There are four Angels overhead,
    That the four may be carrying
    My soul up to heaven.
    Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    Bless this bed that I lie on.
    On Good Friday our Saviour died
    On Good Friday our Saviour was crusified
    They nailed a cap of thorns
    On His Sacred Head.
    Up came the Jews with a long spear,
    They pierced him through the head.
