Joy to the World ‎#80

80. What For Me?

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?

2 My Father's house of light--
My glory-circled throne,
I left, for earthly night,
For wanderings sad and lone;
I left, I left it all for thee:
Hast thou left aught for me?

3 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?
