  1. Old Prayers

    Share Share Post
    There are very few of the old prayers in use or known at the present time. This is one to be said when going to bed at night: -
    "As I lie down my right hand side,
    I pray to God to be my guide,
    And if I die before I wake
    I pray to God my soul to take,
    If any evil comes to me,
    Blessed Lady waken me,
    There are four corners on this bed,
    There are four Angels on its spread,
    Matthew, Mark Luke and John,
    God bless me on this bed that I lie on."
