1 Thy life was giv'n for me,
Thy blood, O Lord, was shed,
That I might ransom'd be,
And quickened from the dead.
Thy life was giv'n for me:
What have I giv'n for Thee?
Thy blood, O Lord, was shed,
That I might ransom'd be,
And quickened from the dead.
Thy life was giv'n for me:
What have I giv'n for Thee?
2 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?
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?
3 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?
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?
