  1. Some Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Here, I lay me down to sleep
    To God I give my soul to keep
    If any evil thing come over me
    I pray the Queen of Glory waken me
    There are four corners in my bed
    There are four angels overhead
    Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
    To bless this bed that I lie on
    If I die before I wake
    To God I give my soul to take
    To Heaven above where I may rest
    With God’s saints and angels ever blest
    This prayer to be said after retiring to rest.

    Most Holy Infant Jesus bless us, hear us and grant our petitions.
    Most Sacred Heart of Jesus
    Through Mary and Joseph have mercy on us
    Help the dying, help the faithful departed
    And grant us all we ask.
    Infinite Jesus meek and mild
