Ajoutée par crosby3145, 06 Janv 2024 Stirring arrangement of Shall I Empty-Handed Be?, perfect for offertory or other church special 1. Shall I empty-handed be When beside the Crystal Sea I shall stand before the everlasting throne? Must I have a heart of shame As I answer to my name, With no works that my Redeemer there can own? 2. What regret must then be mine When I meet my Lord Divine, If I’ve wasted all the talents He doth lend? If no soul to me can say, “I am glad you passed my way; “For ‘twas you who told me of the sinner’s Friend.” 3. If my gratitude I’d show Unto Him Who loves me so, Let me labor till the evening shadows fall; That some little figt of love I may bear to realms above, And not empty-handed be when comes the call. 4. When the harvest days are past, Shall I hear Him say at last, “Welcome, toiler, I’ve prepared for thee a place?” Shall I bring Him golden sheaves, Ripened fruit not faded leaves, When I see the blessed Saviour face to face? 5. When the books are opened wide, And the deeds of all are tried, May I have a record whiter than the snow; When my race on earth is run, May I hear Him say, “Well done!” Take the crown that love immortal doth bestow. |
