HymnEditorial Note: This hymn was apparently written as a kind of response to the hymn, “Oh, to be nothing, nothing,” written by Georgiana M. Taylor (1847-1915) in 1869.

Mary Baker G. Eddy

Oh to be something, something, In Thee, and known as Thou artI Cor 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. ; Patient and gentle — loving, Of broken and contrite heartPs 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. .

Oh- to be something, something, Apart from this mortal man; Substance and life in Spirit, Living alone in I amEx 3:14 And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. !

Oh- to be something, something, Reflecting His liknessGen 1:26 ¶And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. alway; Never this earthly nothing, Dwelling in houses of clayJob 4:19 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth? .

Oh to be something, something, Borne on His chariot As Written: Charriot of light, Forever in Love abidingI John 4:16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. , With never a starless night.

Oh to be something, something, Such as our blest MasterEditorial Note: Jesus Christ was, Giving and waiting, blessing, Healing,— and only because,—

Oh to be something, something, Up to the stature of GoodEph 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: , Is to be nothing sinful, And something of Soul understood!
