VERSE 1
I gave My life for thee,
My precious blood I shed,
That thou might'st ransomed be,
And quicken'd from the dead
I gave My life for thee,
What hast thou giv'n for Me?
VERSE 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?
VERSE 3
My Father's home of light,
My rainbow-circled throne
I left, for earthly night,
For wand'rings sad and lone
I left it all for thee;
Hast thou left aught for Me?
VERSE 4
I suffer'd much for thee,
More than thy tongue can tell,
Of bitterest agony,
To rescue thee from hell
I suffered much for thee;
What canst thou bear for Me?
VERSE 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?
VERSE 6
Oh, let thy life be given,
Thy years for Me be spent,
World-fetters all be riven,
And joy with suffering blent,
I gave Myself for thee;
Give thou thyself to Me.
