I asked for health that I might do greater thing,
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.
I asked God for strength that I might achieve,
I was made weak that I might learn to obey.
I asked for riches that I might be happy,
I was given poverty that I might be wise.
I asked for power and the praise for men,
I was given weakness to sense my need of God.
I asked for all the things that I might enjoy life,
I was given life that I might enjoy all things.
I got nothing I asked for but everything I hoped for,
In spite of myself, my prayers were answered.
I am among all men most richly blest,
Yes, God always gives us what’s the best for us
