- You say this prayer when you are going to bad at night
"As I lay down my head to sleep I give my soul to God to keep, and if I die before I wake I hope my soal the Lord will take."There are four corners on my bed, and four angels over spread Matthew, Mark Luke and John. God bless the bed that I lie on""As I went out on the blessed land I met the Blessed Virgin Mary with seven Mass books in her hand.
Seven bells ringing, seven priests singing rise up Lamb of God and shut the gates of hell
And open the gates of heaven before any of the Jew's piece our Savior from heart to hand.
His Blessed Mother being stand by with a downful heart and a mournful cry.
Those that say these prayers both night and morning will never see the gates of hell or ever die in mortal sin"
