  1. There are four corners in my bed
    And four angels round me spread
    Matthew, Mark, St. Luke and John
    God bless this bed I lay upon.
    If I die before I wake
    To God I give my soul to take.
    In the name of Our Lord Jesus Christ crucified, Lay me down to rest. Bless me O'Lord defend and govern me and after this short and miserable pilgrimage bring me to everlasting happiness amen.
    When in bed I lay to sleep
    I pray to God my soul to keep
    And if I die before I wake,
    I pray to God my soul to take
    Heart of Jesus I adore you,
    Heart of Mary I emplore you
    Heart of Joseph true and blessed
    And in these three hearts I place all my trust.
