Let us act now. Why do we idly wait?
Do we think God will grow, that we are late
In seeking Him, our ultimate defense?
God hears us now, unchanged omnipotence.
And do we wait to grow, who God's reflection are,
As those who seek for heavenly fields afar?
Let us awake. It is our only need.
Do we trust now? Then let us act with speed.
