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
