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! |
