VERSE 1
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:
What have I giv'n for Thee?
VERSE 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?
VERSE 3
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:
Have I left aught for Thee?
VERSE 4
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:
What have I borne for Thee?
VERSE 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?
VERSE 6
Oh, let my life be given,
My years for Thee be spent;
World-fetters all be riven,
And joy with suffering blent:
To Thee my all I bring.
My Saviour and my King!
