Hymn 792 – MUST I go, and empty handed | C&S English Hymnary

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 nor falter For my Saviour saves me now But to meet Him empty handed Thought of that now clouds my brow. Chorus: Must I go... 3. O the years in singing wasted Could I but recall the now I would give them to my Saviour To His will I'd gladly bow. Chorus: Must I go... 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 souls while still you may. Chorus: Must I go... 5. Members of the prayerist Band Thy sword of victory lift high Against satan advance to war For Christ the King of Glory. Chorus: Must I go... 6. Ye Leaders of Cherub, Seraf Go spread my gospel abroad Crown of glory all thou shall earn When cometh the latter-day. 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? AMEN
