Thy Life Was Given For Me

Thy life was given for me; Thy blood, O Lord, was shed,

That I might ransomed be, and quickened from the dead.

Thy life was given for me; what have I given for Thee?

Thy life was given for me; what have I given for Thee?

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?

And Thou hast brought to me, down from Thy home above,

Salvation full and free, Thy pardon and Thy love.

Great gifts Thou broughtest me; what have I brought to Thee?

Great gifts Thou broughtest me; what have I brought to Thee?

O let my life be given, my years for Thee be spent,

World fetters all be riven, and joy with suffering blent!

Thou gavest Thyself for me; I give myself to Thee.

Thou gavest Thyself for me; I give myself to Thee.
