    1. Going to bed
    I lay myself down to sleep,
    I give my soul to God to keep,
    If any danger comes to me,
    Blessed Lady waken me,
    Whether I waken now or never,
    Lord Jesus Christ keep my soul forever.
    2. Going to bed

    There are four angels overhead,
    Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
