jQuery: Hiding *only* text from <label>

I have the following markup that is output from a WordPress plugin

<div class="emaillist">
    <form action="#" method="post">
        <div class="es-field-wrap">
            <label>Name*<br>
                <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" value="" required="" class="form-control">
            </label>
        </div>
        <div class="es-field-wrap">
            <label>Email*<br>
            <input class="form-control" type="email" name="email" value="" placeholder="Email" required=""></label>
        </div>                              

        <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Subscribe">
    </form>
</div>

I am trying to hide the Name and Email text within the <label> fields like so:

$('.form-blog-notify label').text('')

But when I do that, it removes the input fields from the DOM also

Is there a way I can hide the text whilst leaving the text fields in place?

You can set the Font Size to 0. Now the text does not show, but still be in the HTML.

.es-field-wrap label {
  font-size: 0;
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="emaillist">
  <form action="#" method="post">
    <div class="es-field-wrap">
      <label>Name*<br><input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" value="" required="" class="form-control"></label>
    </div>
    <div class="es-field-wrap">
      <label>Email*<br><input class="form-control" type="email" name="email" value="" placeholder="Email" required=""></label>
    </div>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Subscribe">
  </form>
</div>

If you want to remove the text, then jQuery is better.

$(function() {
  $(".es-field-wrap label").each(function(i, el) {
    $(el).contents()[0].remove();
  });
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="emaillist">
  <form action="#" method="post">
    <div class="es-field-wrap">
      <label>Name*<br><input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" value="" required="" class="form-control"></label>
    </div>
    <div class="es-field-wrap">
      <label>Email*<br><input class="form-control" type="email" name="email" value="" placeholder="Email" required=""></label>
    </div>
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Subscribe">
  </form>
</div>

You need to get the first text node and then remove it. Where you can use contents() method to get all child nodes including text nodes.

$('label').each(function() {
  $(this).contents().first().remove()
});
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div class="emaillist">
  <form action="#" method="post">
    <div class="es-field-wrap">
      <label>Name*<br>
                <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Name" value="" required="" class="form-control">
            </label>
    </div>
    <div class="es-field-wrap">
      <label>Email*<br>
            <input class="form-control" type="email" name="email" value="" placeholder="Email" required=""></label>
    </div>

    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Subscribe">
  </form>
</div>
