Local Prayers  [duchas:5005207]

Local Prayers. April 13th, 1938.

Good morning day, Jesus send me the right
Jesus keep me from sins and shame.
I'll get up in Jesus' name.

II
It was on a good Friday morning before first moon,
The Jews came up with their spears so sharp,
Pinned our Saviour's tender heart,
The blessed mother standing by
With a heavy heart
And an achiful cry
Whoever will say this prayer, 
Five times by night,
And five times by day,
No death or danger shall be nigh,
Nor neither shall they enter in.

III
Peter sat on a marble stone,
Our Lord came to him all alone,
What makes you shiver?
What makes you shake?
Lord, I am troubled with a toothache.

IIII
Here I lay to rest
There are four corners on my bed
There are four angels over head
Matthew, Marl, Luke and John
God bless the bed that I lie on.

Peter Lacey, Gariydaniel, Monamolin, Gorey.
