  1. Here is an old but nice prayer,
    There are four corners on my bed,
    There are four angles overhead,
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
    God, bless this bed that I lie on.
    One to sing and one to pray, two to take my soul away,
    And if I die before I wake,
    I will give my soul for God to take.
    The above prayer is varied very much and is said when going to bed
