Restless is the Heart

Restless is the heart until it comes to rest in you.
All the earth shall remember and return to our God.

Lord, you have been our refuge through all time,
from one generation to the next,
before the mountains were born, or the earth brought forth,
you are God, without beginning or end.

To your eyes a thousand years are like a day,
no more than a watch in the night.
You sweep us away like a dream,
like the grass that springs green in the morning, but faded by night.

Make us know our life’s shortness
that we may gain true wisdom of heart.
In the morning, fill us with your love
