62. Thy Life Was Given for Me

1 Thy life was given for me,
Thy precious blood, was shed,
That I might ransomed be,
And quickened from the dead;
Thy life was giv'n for me;
What have I giv'n for thee?
Thy life was giv'n for me;
What have I giv'n 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?
Long years were spent for me;
Have I spent one for thee?

3 Thy Father's home of light,
Thy rainbow-circled throne,
Were left for earthly night,
For wan'rings sad and lone.
Yea, all was left for me;
Have I left aught for Thee?
Yea, all was left for me;
Have I left aught for Thee?

4 Oh, let my life be given
My years for thee be spent;
World-fetters all be riven
And joy with suff'ring blent:
To Thee my all I bring;
My Saviour and my King!
To Thee my all I bring;
My Saviour and my King!
