Don't ask me how a nice Jewish girl knows this prayer, but I do:
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake.
I pray the Lord my soul to take.
My point being that if _I_ know this by heart, it must have been pretty common in the early 70s. I thought it was creepy then and I still do, but hey, not my prayer! (there's also the image forever burned in my brain, from a religious book at the dentists office of a sick boy sleeping with his hand raised so Jesus could take it when he died). I did wonder why Christians were so obsessed with dead kids!
