HYMN 792

(FE 826)



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
