930--"Must I go, and empty-handed,"

"Must I go, and empty-handed,"

930

	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?
		"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 nor falter,
		For my Savior saves me now;
		But to meet Him empty-handed,
		Thought of that now clouds my brow.
	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.
	4.	O ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
		Up the work while yet 'tis day;
		Ere the night of death o'ertake thee,
		Strive for souls while still you may.
