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. | |||

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.
