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, 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, for me;
  Have I spent one for Thee?
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, for me;
  Have I left aught for Thee?
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, 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, great gifts
  Thou broughtest me;
  What have I brought to Thee?
6. 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.
