Hymns - Must I Go, and Empty Handed? - Текст песни

???Must I go, and empty handed,???
Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
Not one day of service give Him,
Lay no trophy at His feet?

Refrain

???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?

Not at death I shrink or falter,
For my Savior saves me now;
But to meet Him empty handed,
Thought of that now clouds my brow.

Refrain

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.

Refrain

O ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
Up and work while yet ???tis day;
Ere the night of death o???ertake thee,
Strived for souls while still you may.

Refrain
