LyicsI GAVE my life for thee,
My precious blood I shed,
That thou might'st ransomed be,
And quickened from the dead.
I gave, I gave my life for thee:
What hast thou given for me?
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 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?
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?
