Must I Go, and Empty-Handed?

Verse 1
Must I go, and emp­ty hand­ed, (Ex. 34:20, Deut. 16:16)
Thus my dear Re­deem­er meet?
Not one day of serv­ice give Him,
Lay no tro­phy at His feet? (Rev. 4:10)

Chorus
Must I go, and emp­ty hand­ed? (Ex. 34:20, Deut. 16:16)
Must I meet my Sav­ior so?
Not one soul with which to greet Him,
Must I emp­ty hand­ed go? (Ex. 34:20, Deut. 16:16)

Verse 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.

Verse 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. (Matt. 6:10, Matt. 26:39, Luke 11:2, Luke 22:42)

Verse 4
O ye saints, arouse, be ear­nest,
Up and work while yet ’tis day; (John 6:4)
Ere the night of death o’er­take thee,
Strive for souls while still you may.
