Verse 1
Will I (C)empty-(Cdim)handed (C)be,

I shall (G)stand be(G7)fore the (G6)Ever(G7)lasting (C)Throne?
Must I (C)have (E7)a (Am)heart of (E)shame as I (F)answer (Ab7)to my (C)name,
With no (A7)works that my Re(D7)deemer (G7)there can (C)own?(F)-(C)

"Welcome, (G)toiler, (G7)I've pre(G6)pared for (G7)thee a (C)place"?
Shall I (C)bring (E7)Home (Am)golden (E)sheaves,

May I (G)have a (G7)record (G6)whiter (G7)than the (C)snow;
When my (C)race (E7)on (Am)Earth is (E)run,
Will I (F)hear Him (Ab7)say, "Well (C)done,
Take the (A7)crown that Love Im(D7)mortal (G7)doth be(C)stow"?(F)-(C)
