  1. Local Prayers. April 13th, 1938.
    Good morning day, Jesus send me the right
    Jesus keep me from sins and shame.
    I'll get up in Jesus' name.
    II
    It was on a good Friday morning before first moon,
    The Jews came up with their spears so sharp,
    Pinned our Saviour's tender heart,
    The blessed mother standing by
    With a heavy heart
    And an achiful cry
    Whoever will say this prayer,
    Five times by night,
    And five times by day,
    No death or danger shall be nigh,
    Nor neither shall they enter in.

    Peter sat on a marble stone,
    Our Lord came to him all alone,
    What makes you shiver?
    What makes you shake?
    Lord, I am troubled with a toothache.
    IIII
    Here I lay to rest
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels over head
    Matthew, Marl, Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
