    Lord give me grace and strength of character to tear myself away promptly from what, if not bad, is less good, an to give myself earnestly, self-denyingly, and perserveringly to the bettter and the best.
    Saints Mattthew, Mark, Luke and John,
    Bless this bed that I lie on.
    Four corners to my bed,
    Four angels round my head,
    One to watch, and one to pray,
    And two to bear my soul away.
    O my God, keep me safe this night,
    Jesus, Mary & Joseph.
    When people saw the new moon they used to say -
    'I see the moon and the moon sees me, God bless the moon and God bless me'.
