Must I go, and empty-handed,
我豈可去，雙手空空？
Thus my dear Redeemer meet?
豈可如此見主面？
Not one day of service give Him,
從無一日為主作工，
Lay no trophy at His feet?
從無擄物獻主前。

Must I go, and empty-handed?
我豈可以空手見主？
Must I meet my Savior so?
豈可雙手空空去？
Not one soul with which to greet Him:
未領一人來歸基督！
Must I empty-handed go?
豈可雙手空空去？

Not at death I shrink nor falter,
今日去世複有何恐？
For my Savior saves me now;
因為恩主已救我；
But to meet Him empty-handed,
但一想到雙手空空，
Thought of that now clouds my brow.
愁雲立即覆我額！

O the years in sinning wasted;
從前犯罪所廢歲月，
Could I but recall them now,
假若現在能贖回，
I would give them to my Savior,
我必完全奉獻無缺，
To His will I’d gladly bow.
樂行主旨不再違。

O ye saints, arouse, be earnest,
哦，願信徒速起熱心，
Up and work while yet ’tis day;
殷勤作工趁白晝；
Ere the night of death o’ertake thee,
死夜尚未臨到你身，
Strive for souls while still you may.
努力救人不稍休。
