“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 Greet Him,
Must I Empty Handed Go?
Not At Death I Shrink Or Falter,
For My Savior Saves Me Now;
But To Meet Him Empty Handed,
Thought Of That Now Clouds My Brow.
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.
O Ye Saints, Arouse, Be Earnest,
Up And Work While Yet ‘Tis Day;
Ere The Night Of Death Overtake Thee,
Strive For Souls While Still You May.
