137. I Gave My Life For Thee

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 wand'rings 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 "And I have bro't 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 bro't to Me?
I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee,
What hast thou bro't to Me?"

4 Oh! let thy life be giv'n,
Thy years for Him be spent;
World-fetters all be riv'n,
And joy with suff'ring blent!
Bring thou thy precious love for all;
Follow thy Saviour's call.
Bring thou thy precious love for all:
Fallow thy Saviour's call.
