Nor surely can we find herein a wrong,
That it was left us to enjoy it long.”

“We kneel, how weak; we rise, how full of power!
Why, therefore, should we do ourselves this wrong,
Or others — that we are not always strong,
That we are ever overborne with care,

Anxious or troubled, when with us is prayer,
And joy and strength and courage are with Thee?”

Richard Chenevix Trench
