Charles Carroll Luther wrote about 30 hymns. In 1877, he heard Rev. A.G. Upham relate the story of a young man who was about to die. He’d only been a Christian for just a month and was sorrowed because he’d had so little time to know, understand & to serve the Lord. But the young man said, “I am not afraid to die; Jesus saves me now. But must I go empty handed?” This incident prompted Charles Carroll Luther to write this hymn and it was first published in Gospel Hymns No. 3, 1878.

Please listen to the song, worship the Lord with spirit and in Truth and be blessed.
