In 1577 Sir Francis Drake wrote :
Disturb us Lord ,
When we are too pleased with ourselves, when our dreams have come true ,
Because we dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely,
Because we sailed too close to the shore .
Disturb us , Lord ,
When with the abundance of things we poses ,
We have lost our thirst for the waters of life ;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity,
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision of the
new heaven to dim
