230. I GAVE MY LIFE FOR THEE
Church Hymnal 1941,
1.
I gave my life for thee,
My precious blood I shed,
That thou might'st ransom 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 Fathers 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?
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?
