Must I go an empty handed?
Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
Not one day of service give him?
Lay no trophy at His feet?
Refrain
Must I go an empty handed?
Must I meet my Saviour so?
Not one soul with which to greet him?
Must I go empty handed?
2.
Not at death I shrink or falter
For my Saviour saves me now
But to meet him empty handed
Thought of that now clouds my brow
3.
Oh, the years of sining wasted
Could I but recall them now
I would give them to my Saviour
To His will I’d gladly bow
4.
Up, ye saints, arouse, be earnest
Up and work while yet ’tis day
Ere the night of death o’er take you
Strive for souls while yet you may
Amen
