O Thou full of compassion,
I commit and commend myself unto Thee,
in whom I am, and live, and know.
Be Thou the Goal of my pilgrimage,
and my Rest by the way.
Let my soul take refuge
from the crowding turmoil of wordly thought
beneath the shadow of Thy wings;
let my heart, this sea of restless waves,
find peace in Thee, O God.
Saint Augustine
