    (continued from previous page)
    Waken ever or waken never
    I give my soul to God forever.
    If I die when I am awake
    I give my soul to God to take
    If I die when I am asleep
    I give my soul to Jesus Christ to keep.
    O God be my branch and Mary my flower
    O Jesus be with me at my dying hour.

    VII Prayer to be said when going on a journey.
    Dost thou on a journeys speed
    Pause and kiss the feet that bleed
    Feet that fared so far for thee
    Bear them, nail them to a tree.
    Bruised feet that get thy peace
    Of the sinners fleeing grace
    Then kiss my feet and go thy way
    Danger shall not near thy stray.
    Prayer to be said to the new moon.
