  2. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ crucified I lay down to rest. Bless me Lord, defend and govern me, and after this miserable pilgrimage bring me to everlasting happiness. Amen.
    In this bed I lie to sleep,
    I give to God my soul to keep
    If I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to keep.
    There are four corners on this bed,
    There are four Angels on them spread
    One to sing and one to pray,
    And two to carry my soul away,
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
    Bless the bed that I lay on.
