I do not need any riches; for, why should I?
A carefree mind is enough, O Father,
That is a Million for me!
I shall not yearn for Fortune; for, why should I?
A smile-lit face is enough, O Father,
That is a Million for me!
I shall not pine and want: for, why should I?
A glance from Thy Eye is enough, O Father,
That is a Million for me!
I shall not crave for Wealth; for, why should I?
The joy of being Thine is enough, O Father,
That is a Million for me!
Enough for me these things I have,
Whatever Thou hast gifted now;
Why think of getting more?
I’ll have them when Thou wishest;
Enough for me Thy un-diminishing Grace
Which falls on all whom Thou hast blessed,
With the words: “This one is Mine.”
