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, I gave My life for thee–
What hast thou giv'n for Me?
I gave, I gave My life for thee–
What hast thou giv'n for Me?
2 My Father's house of light,
My glory-circled throne
I left, for earthly night,
For wand'rings sad and lone;
I left, I left it all for thee–
Hast thou left aught for Me?
I left, I left it all for thee–
Hast thou left aught for Me?
3 I suffered much for thee,
More than thy tongue can tell,
Of bitt'rest agony,
To rescue thee from hell;
I've borne, I've borne it all for thee–
What hast thou borne for Me?
I've borne, I've borne it all for thee–
What hast thou borne for Me?
4 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?
I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee–
What hast thou brought to Me?
