- Said after going into bed at night"There are four corners in my bed
There are four angels overhead
St Matthew, St Mark, St Luke & St John
God bless this bed that I lie on
And if I die before I wake
To God I give my soul to take."
- Ml Hearne gives another version:-"Matthew, Mark, Luke & John!
There are four corners in my bed
There are four angels at my head
One to watch & one to pray
& two to bear my soul away." - Collector

- "Infant Jesus, meek & mild
Look on me a little child,
Make me humble as thou wert
With thy love inflame my heart."
