"O Lord, let Thy mercy be upon us
Who have hoped in thee.
O Lord, in Thee have I hoped;
May I never be confounded."

-----Augustine/Ambrose, late 4th century, baptismal hymn "Te Deum"

  2. Hey man, if it's on wikipedia. . . .actually, why not attribute it to them. At the worst it was late 4th century, written by someone else. But this way I get to post a nice icon and perhaps turn someone onto Ambrose.
