GHS 108 : Must I Go And Empty-Handed? Lyrics

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 Saviour so? Not one soul with which to greet Him: Must I empty-handed go?

1. Not at death I shrink nor falter, For my Saviour saves me now; But to meet Him empty-handed, Thought of that now clouds my brow.

2. O the years in sinning wasted, Could I but recall them now, I would give them to my Saviour, To His will I’d gladly bow.

3. 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.
