206. I Gave My Life For Thee

I gave my life Thee, My precious blood I shed,
That Thou might’st ransomed be,
And quickenedfrom 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 given for me?

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?

I suffered much for Thee, More 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?
