Must I Go and Empty Handed? by Charles C. Luther
LYRICS
VERSE 1
"Must I go and emp-ty hand-ed,"
Thus my dear Re-deem-er meet?
Not one day of ser-vice give him,
Lay no tro-phy at his feet.
REFRAIN
"Must I go and emp-ty hand-ed,"
Must I meet my Sav-iour so?
Not one soul with which to greet him,
Must I emp-ty hand-ed go?
VERSE 2
Not at death I shrink nor fal-ter,
For my Sav-iour saves me now;
But to meet him emp-ty hand-ed,
Thought of that now clouds my brow.
VERSE 3
Oh, the years of sin-ning was-ted,
Could I but re-call them now,
I would give them to my Sav-iour,
To his will I'd glad-ly bow.
VERSE 4
Oh, ye saints, a-rouse, be ear-nest,
Up and work while yet 'tis day,
Ere the night of death o'er-takes thee,
Strive for souls while still you may.
(Refrain is the same for each verse)
