Thy life was given for me

1.

Thy life was given 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

What have I giv’n for Thee?

2.

Long years were spent for me

In weariness and woe

That through eternity

Thy glory I might know

Long years were spent for me

Have I spent one for Thee?

3.

Thy Fathers’s home of light

Thy rainbow circled throne

Were left for earthly night

For wand’rings sad and lone

Yea, all was left for me

Have I left aught for Thee?

4.

Thou, Lord, hast borne for me

More than my togue can tell

Of bitt’rest agony

To rescue me from hell

Thou suffer’dst all for me

What have I borne for Thee

5.

And Thou hast brought to me

Down from Thy home above

Salvation full and free

Thy pardon and thy love

Great gifts Thou broughtest me

What have I brought to Thee

6.

O let my life be giv’n

My years for Thee be spent

World-fetters all be riv’n

And joy with suff’ring blent

Thou gav’st Thyself for me

I give myself to Thee
