Text: | Nothing But Withered Leaves |
Author: | B. E. W. |
Tune: | [Nothing but leaves, Nothing but leaves] |
Composer: | B. E. Warren |
1 Nothing but leaves,
Nothing but leaves,
Nothing but leaves to show the Lord,
And nothing but leaves for your reward—
You never can be in saints’ accord,
For nothing but withered leaves.
Refrain:
Nothing but withered leaves,
Nothing but withered leaves,
Nothing but withered leaves;
Nothing, nothing but withered leaves.
2 Nothing but leaves,
Nothing but leaves,
Nothing but leaves at set of sun,
And nothing but leaves for all you’ve done,
A soul for the Lord you’ve never won—
Hence, nothing but withered leaves. [Refrain]
3 Nothing but leaves,
Nothing but leaves,
Nothing but leaves, no golden grain;
Tho’ long you’ve toiled thro’ heat and rain,
Yet all you have done has been in vain,
Hence, nothing but withered leaves. [Refrain]
