  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    These following prayers were told to me by Mammy, they were told to her by her Mother. The first is said going to bed at night it is said in the following way,
    As I lay down on my right side,
    I pray to God to give me guide
    And if I die before I wake to God
    I give my soul to take,
    O Blessed Lady awaken me
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four Angles over spread
    Saint Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lay on
    God Bless "Good Friday" Friday day the
    Day of Our Lord "Jesus Christ"
    Crucified, Crown of shell thorns
    On his head the heavy heart
    And a dismal cry.
