  1. It was on a Good Friday afternoon the Jews came with spears sharp and pierced our Saviour through the heart
    Our blessed lady standing by
    With grieved heart and troubled mind.
    Anyone who says this prayer three times by day or night
    Shall never die in mortal sin nor the flames of hell shall never enter in.

  2. As I lay down myself to sleep,
    I give my soul to God to keep,
    If anything happen me Blessed Lady waken me,
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
    God bless this bed that I lie on,
    There are four corners on my bed,
    And four angels over-head
    If I die before I wake,
    God Almighty my soul to take,
