MUST I GO EMPTY HANDED

CHARLES C. LUTHER

1. Must I go empty handed
This my dear redeemed meet
Not one day of service give him
Lay no trophy on his feet

Chorus

Must I go empty handed
Must I meet my saviour so
Not one soul with which to greet him
Must I empty handed go

2. Not at death I shrink nor falter
For my Saviour saves me now
But to meet him empty handed
Thought of that now clouds my brow

3. Oh the years in sinning wasted
Could I but recall them now
I’ll give them to my savior
To his will I’d gladly blow

4. O ye saints arouse be earnest
Up and work while yet ‘tis day
Ere the night of death o’er take thee
Strive for soul while still you may
