Long ago the people said the following prayer when going to bed "When I lay down my right hand, I pray to god to be my guide, There are four corners on my bed, There are four angels on them spread Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, God bless this bed that I lie on. A Night Prayer When I lie on my right hand side I pray to God to be my guide When evils come to me Our Blessed Lady will waken me God within, God without God bless All about this house Four corners on my bed Four angels on them spread Saints,Mark, Matt, Luke and John God bless this bed that I lie on If I die before I wake I pray of God my soul betake, Amen When the Clock Strikes Oh Lord this hour I give to thee For all the past pardon me I know that I must soon depart Then hide me in thy Sacred HeartEmma Ui Laithimh
