Prayers
the following prayer is said before going to bed
God be the branch
Jesus the flower
Jesus be with me my dying hour.
If bad evil tempt me,
O Sweet Saviour waken me
On my right hand God bless me
Matthew, Mark Luke and John
God bless the bed that I lie on.
There are four corners in my bed
There are four angels overspread
And if I die before I wake
I got myself to God to take.
The following prayer is said before going to bed:-
O Angel of God, my guardian dear
To whom God's love commits me here
Ever this night be at my side
To light and guard to rule and guide.
The following prayer is said in the morning:-(continues on next page)
