   I As I lay down my head to sleep, I give my soul to God to keep, There are four corners on my bed, There are four angels overhead. Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, God bless the bed that I lie on.

   II
   O Jesus, dear, before I rest,
   I thank thee, and I pray,
   that thou wouldst take away my sins,
   Committed through the day.
   I believe, I hope in Thee alone,
   I love Thee, with my heart,
   Bless Thou my body, soul and friends.
   My Lord, my God, thou art.
   O Mary, Mother, Virgin art.
   O Mary, Mother, Virgin dear,
   Saint Joseph, guardian blest.
   My Angel and my patron Saint.
   Care for me while I rest.

   My dearest Lord, it is a toothache.
