Matthew, Mark and Luke and John

Matthew, Mark and Luke and John,

Bless the bed that I lie on.

Four angels to my bed,

Two to bottom, two to head,

Two to hear me when I pray,

Two to bear my soul away.

God is the branch and I the flower,

Pray God send me a blessed hour.

I go to bed some sleep to take:

The Lord, He knows if I shall wake.

Sleep I ever, sleep I never,

God receive my soul for ever.
