Written by Augustine of Hippo (354-430), an early Christian theologian and philosopher. He was the bishop of Hippo Regius (modern day Annaba, Algeria) and is viewed as one of the most important church fathers in Western Christianity.
O Lord, to be turned from You is to fall,
to turn to You is to rise,
and to stand in Your presence is to live forever.
Grant us in all our duties Your help,
in all our perplexities Your guidance,
in all our dangers Your protection,
and in all our sorrows Your peace.
The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. [Psalm 46:7]
