65. Must I Go Empty Handed

‘Must I go, and empty handed’ thus my dear Redeemer meet? Not one day of service give him, lay no trophy at his feet?

Must I go, and empty handed?  Must I meet my Savior so?  Not one soul with which to great him, must I empty handed go?

2.

Not at death I shrink or falter, for my Savior saves me now; But to meet him empty-handed, tho’t of that now clouds my brow.

Must I go, and empty handed?  Must I meet my Savior so?  Not one soul with which to great him, must I empty handed go?

3.

O the years in sinning wasted, could I but recall them now, I would give them to my Savior, to his will I’d gladly bow.

Must I go, and empty handed?  Must I meet my Savior so?  Not one soul with which to great him, must I empty handed go?

4.

O ye saints, arouse, be earnest, up and work while yet ‘tis day; Ere the night of death o’ertake you, strive for souls while still you may.

Must I go, and empty handed?  Must I meet my Savior so?  Not one soul with which to great him, must I empty handed go?
