I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed,
That
thou might ransomed be, and raised up from the dead
I gave, I
gave My life for thee, what hast thou given for Me?
I gave, I
gave My life for thee, what hast thou given for Me?
Long years were spent for me, in weariness and woe,
That
through eternity Thy glory I might know.
Long years were
spent for me; have I spent one for Thee?
Long years were
spent for me; have I spent one for Thee?
My Father¡¦s house of light, My glory circled throne
I left
for earthly night, for wanderings sad and lone;
I left, I
left it all for thee, hast thou left aught for Me?
I left, I
left it all for thee, hast thou left aught for Me?
I suffered much for thee, more than thy tongue can tell,
Of bitterest agony, to rescue thee from hell.
I¡¦ve borne,
I¡¦ve borne it all for thee, what hast thou borne for Me?
I¡¦ve
borne, I¡¦ve borne it all for thee, what hast thou borne for Me?
And I have brought to thee, down from My home above,
Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love;
I bring, I
bring rich gifts to thee, what hast thou brought to Me?
I
bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, what hast thou brought to Me?
O let my life be given, my years for Thee be spent,
World
fetters all be riven, and joy with suffering blent!
Thou
gavest, thou gavest Thyself for me; I give myself to Thee.
Thou gavest, thou gavest Thyself for me; I give myself to Thee.
