|  | 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! |
