75. I Gave My Life for Thee

6s.
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 My life for thee,
 
What hast thou given 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 it all for thee,
 
Hast thou left ought for Me?
3
I suffered much for thee,
 
More than thy tongue can tell,
 
Of bitterest agony,
 
To rescue thee from hell;
 
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 rich gifts to thee,
 
What hast thou brought to Me?
