  1. God bless Friday and Good Friday too,
    and the Friday our Saviour was crucified on. The wicked Jews with their spears so sharp. Pierced our Saviours hand and luck. Our Blessed Lady was standing by with heavy heart and mournful say. Any person who says this prayer, three times by night, and three times by day, need not fear death, judgement, or the seven deathly sins. the gates of hell thou will never enter.
    Amen.
    Act of Contrition
    Here I lie down to sleep.
    I give my soul to God to keep.
    And if I die before I wake.
    I pray to God my soul to take.
    Sleep I now, wake I may never,
    I give my soul to God forever.
    There are four corners on my bed.
    There are four Angels over spread.
    And my right side I turn to thee.
    As Jesus did on Mary's knee.
    The lily of the branch.
    The Lord of the flower.
    Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
    Watch over me forever.
