壁に刻まれたコトバ

I asked God for strength that I might achieve
I was made weak that I might learn humbly to obey
I asked for health that I might do greater things
I was given infirmity that I might do greater things
I asked God for riches that I might be happy
I was given poverty that I might be wise
I asked for power that I might have the praise of men
I was given weakness that I might feel the need of God
I asked for all 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.
