Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, Bless this bed that I lie on. Before I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep. Four corners to my bed, Four angels there are spread; Two at the foot, two at the head: Four to carry me when I’m dead. I go by sea, I go by land: The Lord made me with his right hand. Should any danger come to me, Sweet Jesus Christ deliver me. He’s my branch and I’m the flower, Pray God send me a happy hour; And should I die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take.
