Oh, to be nothing, nothing!
 
  | 
 | 
 | 1. | Oh, to be nothing, nothing! | 
 |     | Only to lie at His feet, | 
 |     | A broken and emptied vessel- | 
 |     | For the Master's use made meet! | 
 |     | Emptied that He might fill me | 
 |     | As forth to His service I go; | 
 |     | Broken, that so unhindered, | 
 |     | His life through me might flow. | 
 |     | Oh, to be nothing, nothing! | 
 |     | Only to lie at His feet, | 
 |     | A broken and emptied vessel- | 
 |     | For the Master's use made meet! | 
 | 2. | Oh, to be nothing, nothing! | 
 |     | Only as led by His hand- | 
 |     | A messenger at His gateway, | 
 |     | Only waiting for His command; | 
 |     | Only and instrument ready | 
 |     | His praises to sound at His will- | 
 |     | Willing, should He not require me, | 
 |     | In silence to wait on Him still. | 
 | 3. | Oh, to be nothing, nothing! | 
 |     | Painful the humbling may be! | 
 |     | Yet low in the dust I'd lay me | 
 |     | That the world might my Savior see! | 
 |     | Rather be nothing, nothing! | 
 |     | To Him let their voices be raised! | 
 |     | He is the fountain of blessing, | 
 |     | He only is meet to be praised! |
