Author: E. E. Hewitt Appears in 4 hymnals First Line: Not empty-handed would I go Refrain First Line: Not empty-handed would I go Lyrics: 1 Not empty-handed would I go
To him whose love has blessed me so;
Some precious jewel would I bring
To shine forever for my King.
Refrain:
Not empty-handed would I go,
To him whose love hath blessed me so;
Some humble tribute may I bear,
Within those gates so bright and fair.

In life’s great field some seed I’d sow;
Some golden sheaf for him would bind;
Some blossoms tend, some fruitage find. [Refrain]

His grace will hidden treasures show,
O may I win them for his sake,
And, day by day, love’s off’rings make. [Refrain]

Thro’ summer’s bloom, thro’ winter’s snow,
I’ll work for him who died for me;
