Hymn 25

Must I go and empty handed?

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?

CHORUS

Must I go and 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 or falter

For my Saviour saves me now

But to meet him empty handed

Thought of that now clouds my brow

3

Oh, the years of sinning wasted!

Could I but recall them now

I would give them to my Saviour

To His will I'd gladly bow.

4

Up, ye saints, arouse, be earnest!

Up and work while yet 'tis day

Ere the night of death o'er take you,

Strive for souls while yet you may.
