- I see the moon and the moon sees me,
God bless the moon and God bless me,
Grace in the kitchen, Grace in the hall
And the Grace of God above us all.
This was said by the old people when they would see a new moon for the first time.
Here I lay down for to sleep
To God I give my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
I pray to God my soul to take
I do now know know, nor where or when
But if I die in mortal sin
I am lost forever, O Jesus have mercy on my,
This was said in bed before going to sleep.
