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 giv’n for Me
I gave I gave My life for thee
What hast thou giv’n for Me
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
I left I left it all for thee
Hast thou left aught for Me
3
I suffered much for thee
More than thy tongue can tell
Of bitt’rest agony
To rescue thee from hell
I’ve borne I’ve borne it all for thee
What hast thou borne for Me
I’ve borne I’ve borne it all for thee
What hast thou borne for Me
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
I bring I bring rich gifts to thee
What hast thou brought to Me
