Thy Life was giv’n for me

Thy Life was giv’n for me

Thy blood

O Lord

was shed

That I might ransomed be

And quickened from the dead;

Thy Life was giv’n for me

for me;

What have I giv’n for Thee?

Long years were spent for me

In weariness and woe

That through eternity

Thy glory I might know;

Long years were spent for me

for me;

Have I spent one for Thee?

Thy Father’s home of light

Thy rainbow-circled throne

Were left for earthly night

For wanderings sad and lone;

Yea

all was left for me

for me;

Have I left aught for Thee?

Thou

Lord

hast borne for me

More than my tongue can tell

Of bitterest agony

To rescue me from hell;

Thou suff’redst all for me

for me;

What have I borne for Thee?

And Thou hast brought to me

Down from Thy home above

Salvation full and free

Thy pardon and Thy love;

Great gifts

great gifts Thou broughtest me;

What have I brought to Thee?

Oh

let my life be given

My years for Thee be spent;

World-fetters all be riven

And joy with suff’ring blent;

Thou gav’st Thyself for me

for me

I give myself to Thee.
