  1. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lie on.
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels on the spread
    If any evil comes to injure me
    Virgin Mary waken me.
    I go to my bed and I go to my grave
    Merciful Jesus my soul to save.
    If I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to take.
    Lady of the branch, Lord Jesus of the flower,
    Be with me now and at my dying hour.
