Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Meter: 6.6.6.6.6.6 Appears in 156 hymnals Scripture: Romans 6:23 Lyrics: 1 Thy life was given for me;
Thy blood, O Lord, was shed,
That I might ransomed be,
And quickened from the dead:
Thy life was given for me;
What have I given for Thee?
2 Long years were spent for me
In weariness and woe,
That through eternity
Thy glory I might know:
Long years were spent for me;
Have I spent one for Thee?
3 And Thou hast brought to me,
Down from Thy home above,
Salvation full and free,
Thy pardon and Thy love:
Great gifts Thou broughtest me;
What have I brought to Thee?
4 O let my life be given,
My years for Thee be spent,
World fetters all be riven,
And joy with suffering blent!
Thou gavest Thyself for me;
I give myself to Thee.
