1295. 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 given 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 ought for me?

3 I suffered much for thee,
More than thy tongue can tell,
Of bit'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 has thou borne for me?
