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 up from the dead;

I gave, I gave My life for thee,

What hast thou giv’n for Me?

 

2.I spent long years for thee – in weariness and woe,

That an eternity-Of joy thou mightest know,

I spent 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 wandering sad and lone;

I left, I left it all for thee,

Hast thou left aught for Me?

 

4.I suffered much for thee,

More than thy tongue can tell,

Of bitter agony, To rescue thee from hell;

I suffered, suffered much for thee,

What can’st thou bear for Me?

 

5.Lord,let my life be given,

And every moment spent,

For God,for souls,for heaven

And all earth’s ties be rent

Thou gavest Thou gavest Thyself for me,

Now I give all for Thee.
