一 我豈可去，雙手空空？
豈可如此見主面？
從無一日為主作工，
未有擄物獻主前。
（副） 我豈可以空手見主？
豈可雙手空空去？
未領一人來歸基督！
豈可雙手空空去？
二 今日去世復有何恐？
因為恩主已救我；
但一思念雙手虛空，
愁容滿面真難過！
三 從前犯罪所廢歲月，
假若現在能贖回，
我必完全奉獻無缺，
樂行主旨不再違。
四 哦，願我們努力發奮，
殷勤作工趁白日；
死辰尚未臨到你身，
熱心救人不停止。
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?
Refrain
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 l shrink nor falter,
For my Saviour 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 Saviour,
To His will I'd gladly bow.
4. O ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
UP and work while yet 'tis day;
Ere the night of death o'ertake thee,
Strive for souls while still you may.
