- I
Infant Jesus meek and mild
Pity me a little child
Pity me and suffer me
To go with thee.
Heart of Jesus I adore thee
Heart of Mary I implore thee
Heart of Joseph pure and just
In these three hearts I put my trust
If any evil happens me
Holy Mary waken me.
There are four corners of my bed
There are four angels round me spread
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless the bed that I lie on
If I die before I wake
I give my soul to God to take
Wake now or wake never
I give my soul to God to take forever.

- II A prayer to be said in the morning.
O my God I offer this day
Everything I do or say
Uniting it with what was done
On earth by Jesus Christ His Son.(continues on next page)
