VIII. Evening Prayer
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
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
Four corners to my bed
(One-two-three-four, one-two-three-four, one-two-three-four)
Four angels there are spread
Two at the foot, two at the head
(One-two one-two one-two one-two one-two one-two)
Four to carry me when I'm dead
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
I pray the Lord my soul to take
Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
Bless this bed that I lie on
