    Teach me how to pray.
    Collected by Lena Corry, Main St.
    Before the closing of the days,
    Our God we humbly pray thee
    to save us through the night.
    Many dreams and vain things
    may trouble us, but by they
    help O Lord our minds on them dwell not. Keep off our enemies that so, our bodies may no uncleaness know.
    Protect us under the shadow of thy wing. Have mercy on us, O Lord have mercy on us, and that we may rest this night in peace.
    O, my God, I lay my weary body down to rest. I pray, pray my God that you may save me during the night
