    " I lay down on my bed to sleep,
    To God I give my soul to keep,
    And if I die before I wake,
    To God I give my soul to take.
    There are four corners on my bed,
    And four angles round me spread.
    Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
    God bless the bed that I lay on"
    "Jesus meek and Jesus mild,
    Pity me a little child
    Jesus take my heart and bless it
    That nothing eil may posess it."
    "Heart of Jesus I adore Thee,
    Heart of Mary I implore Thee,
    Heart of Joseph pure and just,
    In those true hearts,
    I place my trust."
    "Good morning Jesus my Saviour
    Good morning Mary my mother,
    Keep me from sin this day,
    Keep me from sin forever."
