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.
