Lyrics

1. Must I go all empty-handed? Thus my dear Redeemer meet? Not one day of service give Him? Lay no trophy at His feet?
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 time of sinning wasted! Could I but recall it now I would give it to my Saviour. To His will I gladly bow.
4. Oh, ye saints, arise, be earnest! Up and work while yet it's day; ere the night of death o'ertake you, strive for souls while yet you may.
Refrain: Must I go all empty-handed? Must I meet my Saviour so? Not one soul with which to greet Him? Must I empty-handed go?
