1 My talents are few, dearest Master,
Yet I long of some use to be,
Then, tell me, I pray thee, dear Jesus,
How may I do something for thee?

Refrain:
Something for thee, something for thee,
Oh, tell me, I pray thee, dear Master,
How may I do something for thee?

2 I cannot with fiery warnings,
Make the wicked their guilt to see,
Yet surely some pathway is open,
Where I may do something for thee. [Refrain]

3 No riches, alas! can I give thee,
For they never have come to me,
But freely I lay on thy altar,
My life, to do something for thee. [Refrain]
