Must I go, and empty-handed

by EBH 430

1. 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? 2. Not at death I shrink nor falter, For my Savior saves me now; But to meet Him empty-handed, Thought of that now clouds my brow. 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? 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 greet 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 thee, 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 greet Him: Must I empty-handed go?
