I gave My life for thee

1 I gave My life for Thee
My precious blood I shed
That Thou might st ransomed be
And quickened from the dead
I gave My life for Thee
What hast Thou given for Me

2 I spent long years for Thee
In weariness and woe
That an eternity
Of joy Thou mightest know
I spent long years for Thee
Hast Thou spent one for Me

3 My Father s home of light
My rainbow circled throne
I left for earthly night
For wanderings sad and lone
I left it all for Thee
Hast Thou left aught for Me

4 I suffered much for Thee
More than My tongue may tell
Of bitterest agony
To rescue Thee from hell
I suffered much for Thee
What canst Thou bear for Me

5 And I have brought to Thee
Down from My home above
Salvation full and free
My pardon and My love
Great gifts I brought to Thee
What hast Thou brought to Me

6 Oh let thy life be given
Thy years for Me be spent
World s fetters all be riven
And joy with suffering blent
I gave Myself for Thee
Give Thou thyself to Me
