- "Going to Bed."
"Here I lay my head to sleep,
I give my soul to God to keep,
And if I die before I wake,
I give my soul to God to take.
There are four corners on my bed.
There are four Angels on them spread.
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
God bless the bed that I lie on."
Going to Bed.
"Anne mother of Mary, Mary Mother of Christ, Elizabeth mother of John the Baptist be between us and all nightmares.
At the time when thunder is on.
O Lord, Jesus Christ I call upon thee for mercy. O Holy Great and Immortal God have mercy on me, and on the whole world. By the blood of Jesus Christ intercede for us and preserve us for all the wickedness of time and Eternity. Amen.(continues on next page)
