I Gave My Life for Thee
Author: Frances R. Havergal Appears in 543 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 147:3 Lyrics: 1 I gave My life for thee,
My precious blood I shed,
That thou might ransomed be,
And quickened from 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?
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 bitterest 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 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?
I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee,
What hast thou brought to Me?

All good gifts around us
Sometimes a light surprises
Author: William Cowper, 1731-1800 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 408 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 147 Lyrics: 1 Sometimes a light surprises
the child of God who sings;
it is the Lord who rises
with healing in his wings;
when comforts are declining,
he grants the soul again
a season of clear shining
to cheer it after rain.
2 In holy contemplation,
we joyfully pursue
the theme of God’s salvation,
and find it ever new.
Set free from present sorrow,
we cheerfully can say:
'Now let the unknown morrow
bring with it what it may:
3 'it can bring with it nothing
but God will bear us through;
who gives the lilies clothing
will clothe his people, too;
beneath the spreading heavens
no creature but is fed,
and he who feeds the ravens
will give his children bread.'
4 Though vine nor fig-tree neither
their looked-for fruit should bear,
though all the field should wither,
nor flocks nor herds, be there,
yet, God the same abiding,
his praise shall tune my voice;
for while in him confiding
I cannot but rejoice.

Of our eternal King.

And sound His power abroad;
Sing the sweet promise of His grace,
And our redeeming God.

As that which built the skies;
The voice that rolls the stars along
Speaks all the promises.

But whisper, "Thou art Mine,"
Those gentle words should raise my song
To notes almost divine.

Awake, my tongue! thy tribute bring

A depth, where all our thoughts are drowned;
The stars he numbers; and their names
He gives to all those heavenly flames.

Ten thousand thousand charms unfold;
Each, air, and mighty seas combine
To speak his wisdom all-divine.

Thy beautiful array;
The day of freedom dawns at length,
The Lord's appointed day.

And send thy heralds forth;
Say to the South, Give up thy charge,
And keep not back, O North.
4 They come, they come! thine exiled bands,
Where'er they rest or roam,
Have heard thy voice in distant lands,
And hasten to their home. Topics: The Christian Church Missionary; Emancipation Day
