    "May all that's good be yours I pray,
    May all that's bad be turned away,
    May Christ All Holy, bless your days,
    And keep you in His love always."
    Another which was said going to bed at night: -
    "I leave my body down to sleep,
    I give to God my soul to keep,
    And if I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to take."
