Chorus: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?
Verse 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?
Verse 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.
Verse 3:Oh, the years of sinning wasted!
Could I but recall them now,
I would give them to my Saviour,
To His will I'd gladly bow.
Verse 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.
