• I ask for riches, That I
    might be happy; I was given poverty, That I
    might be wise. I ask for health; That I might
    do grater things; I was given infirmity That I
    might do better things. I ask for
    strength, That I might achieve; I was made
    weak, That I might learned humble to obey. I
    ask for power, That I might have the praise of
    men; I was given weakness, That I might feel the
    need of God. I ask for all things that I might
    enjoy life; I was given life, That I might enjoy
    all things I got nothing That I ask for But
    everything I have hope for. My unspoken prayers
    were answered, I am among all men most richly
    bless.
