Text: | I Gave My Life For Thee |
Author: | Frances R. Havergal |
Tune: | RANDALL |
Composer: | Dr. Randall |
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?
2 I spent long years for thee
In weariness and woe,
That one eternity
Of joy thou mightest know:
I spent, I spent long years for thee,
Hast thou spent one 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?
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?
5 O let thy life be giv'n,
Thy years for Me be spent;
World-fetters all be riv'n,
And joy with suff'ring blent:
Give thou, give thou thyself to Me,
And I will welcome thee.
