Disturb us, Oh Lord,
when we are too well please with ourselves;
when our dreams have come true
because we have dreamt too little;
when we have arrived in safety
because we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, Oh Lord,
when with the abundance of things we possess
we have lost our thirst for the Water of Life;
when having fallen in love with time,
we cease to dream of eternity;
