  1. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    O my God, here I lie on my right side,
    I pray to God to be my guide,
    And if I die before I wake,
    To God I give my soul to take.
    There are four corners on my bed,
    There are four angels round it spread,
    Sts. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
    Bless the bed that I lie on.
    O my God, clothe my soul with the nuptial robe of charity, and grant that I may wear it pure, and undefiled before thy judgement seat.
    When people put out the light at night they used to say-
    "God grant us the light and the glory of the Kingdom of Heaven".
