Bernadette Farrell wrote a beautiful song a few years back. The antiphon, lyrical and easily learned by the congregation, says "Restless is the heart until it comes to rest in You/ All the earth, all the earth shall remember/ and return to our God." The famous quotation from St. Augustine, convincing in itself, is made even more memorable by the musical setting.
The antiphon is alternated with a quite lovely paraphrase of Psalm 90:
"Make us know our life's shortness
Make us know our life's shortness
That we may gain true wisdom of heart.
In the morning, the morning
Fill us with your love.
Fill us with your love."
