  1. (continued from previous page)
    I pray to God my soul to keep.
    And if I die before I wake.
    I pray to God my soul to take.
    There is four corners in my bed
    There is four angles over my head.
    Mark, Mathew, Luke, and John.
    God bless the bed that I lay on."
    When entering a house say, "God bless the work."

  2. People going to bed at night:-
    Through this day they hand has led me.
    And I thank thee for thy care
    Thou hast warmed, clothed, & fed me.
    Listen to my evening prayer.
    Let my sins be all forgiven.
    Bless the friends I love so well.
    Take me when I die to Heaven.
    Happy there with Thee to dwell.
    Create in me a clean heart, Oh God.
