Verse 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 given for Me?

Verse 2

My Father’s house of light,

My glory-circled throne;

I left for earthly night,

For wanderings sad and lone:

I left, I left it all for thee,

Hast thou left aught for Me?

Verse 3

I suffered much for thee,

More than thy tongue can tell;

Of bitterest agony,

To rescue thee from hell:

I’ve borne, I’ve borne it all for thee,

What hast thou borne for Me?

Verse 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?
