    As I lie down to sleep
    I give my soul to God to keep
    That there may not any evil thing tempt me
    O Blessed Virgin Mary, put down your hand and cover me
    There are four corners on my bed,
    I pray to God that these may be
    Four angles on them spread
    Mathew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless this bed that I lie on
    Lord be the branch, Mary be the flowers
    Jesus and Joseph be with us at our last Dying Hours
    Amen
