Missionaries from Salzburg sent this to a friend

it is important to me in two ways i fell in love

with the poem and a friend of mines shared it 

with me on my birthday i would like to know 

who wrote it

I've never made a fortune and it's too late now

But i don't worry that much i'm happy anyhow

And as i go lifes way i'm reaping better than i sowed

I'm drinking from my suacer cause my cup has overflowed

Haven't got alot of riches and sometimes 

the going gets tough but i've got loving ones around 

me and that makes me rich enough

I thank god for his blessings and the mercies

He's bestowed i'm drinking from my saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed

O remember times when things went wrong

My faith wore somewhat thin

But all at once the dark broke and the sun

peeped through again so lord help me

not to grip about the tough rows that i've howed

I'm drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed

If God gives me strenght and courage

When the way grows steep and rough

I'll not ask for other blessing i'm already blessed enough

And may i never be too busy

To help others bear their loads

Than i'll be drinking from my saucer

Cause my cup has overflowed
