Author: Frances Ridley Havergal Hymnal: LSAS1913 #E130 (1913) Meter: 6.6.6.6.8.6 Lyrics: 1 I gave my life for thee,
My precious blood I shed,
That Thou mightst 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 bro't 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 bro't to Me?
I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee,
What hast thou bro't to Me? Topics: Lent Languages: English Tune Title: I GAVE MY LIFE FOR THEE
