  1. A Collection of Prayers

    Share Share Post
    1) A Prayer said when getting up in the morning
    "Oh my God, I arise from this bed of sleep,
    To adore my God, and to labour in the salvation of my soul,
    Oh, may I rise on the last day,
    To Life Everlasting, Amen.

    2) A Prayer said when going to bed.
    "Lord Jesus Christ lay me down to sleep,
    I pray to God my soul to keep
    And if I die before I wake
    I pray to God my soul to take
    There are four corners on my bed
    There are four angels on them spread,
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God bless this bed that I lie one
    If any evil comes to me
    Oh, blessed Lord deliver me
    When Christ saw the cross he was to be crucified on
    He trembled and he shook.
    Said the Jews to Him, have you plague, fever, or ague,
    Or do you shake with fear,
    And anyone that keeps these words in writing or in memory
    Shall never have a plague, fever or ague,
    The cross of Christ be my guide
    The Holy Ghost may save me.
    My powerful Queen, my soul serene,
    I ask that prayer of Mary.
    Jesus, Mary, and Joseph I give you my heart and soul
