It was on Good Friday,
On Good Friday it was,
The day the Jews were passing by,
With iron spikes in their hands,
They pierced Our Saviour from hand to heart,
There are four corners in my bed
Four blessed angels overhead
Matthew, Mark, Luke + John
God bless the bed that I lie on

- E'er I go this night to sleep
I give my Lord my Soul to keep
Four angels hovering round my bed
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
God bless the bed I rest upon - III
God bless me + my wife,
My son John + his wife
Us four + no more
Amen.IV
Matthew, Mark Luke + John,
God bless this bed that I lie on.
And if I die before I wake
To you I give my soul to take
(Susan Haugh) from her mother
