- (continued from previous page)4. Another prayer you say when you are getting into bed:-
I lay my body down to sleep,
I pray to God my soul to keep,
In any evil troubles me,
I pray to the blessed Virgin to waken me,
Whether I waken now or ever,
Jesus keep my soul for ever.
5. When the old people were going to bed they used to say.
As I go to my bed,
As I go to my grave,
Begging of God my soul to resave. (receive).
