Must I Go, and Empty Handed?

Author: Charles C. Luther Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #4388 First Line: Must I go, and empty handed Lyrics: 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? 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? 2. 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] 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [Must I go, and empty handed]
