Text: | Must I Go, and Empty-Handed? |
Author: | Charles C. Luther |
Tune: | ["Must I go, and empty-handed"] |
Composer: | George C. Stebbins |
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?
Chorus:
“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,
Tho't of that now clouds my brow. (Chorus)
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. (Chorus)
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. (Chorus)
