  1. When we go to bed we say
    Here I lay me down to sleep
    O God I pray my soul to keep and if I die before I wake
    O God I pray my soul to take There are four corners on my bed and four angels from Jesus on them spread. St Mathew Mark Luke and John God bless me on this bed that I lie on. The virtue of the Holy Ghost me enlighten sanctify me this night from all sun and danger
    Amen
