  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.
