I Gave My Life for Thee

Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 543 hymnals Lyrics: 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 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? 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?
