127e. What hast thou done 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 has thou given 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!

3 I suffered much for thee,
More than thy tongue can tell,
Of bitterest agony,
To rescue thee from hell;
I've borne, I've borne it all for thee,
What has 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?
