  2. Prayers

    Share Share Post
    Dear Mary I am but a child who kneels before thy throne. O guard my mother all the night and when the sun dont rise. Sweet Mary keep me all the day beneath they watchful eyes.
    That I lay on my ned tp sleep
    I give my soul to God to keep
    If any evil comes to me
    O Blessed Virgin waken me
    There are four corners on my bed
    Every corner an angel spread
    Saint Mathew mark, Saint Luke and John
    God bless the bed that I lay on
    If I die before I wake
    O pray to God my soul to take
    Yes Lord I ask that this one day be given to thee and thine
    Be loveth granted every hour be reached the heart divine
    Let not my foolish love of prayer or work from prayers for thee
    O good Jesus from pride from self from sin let this one day be free
