What Have I Given?

Verse 1

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?

Verse 2

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?

Verse 3

Thy Father's home of light, thy rainbow-circled throne, were left for earthly night, for wanderings sad and lone; yea, all was left me; have I left aught for thee?

Verse 4

Thou, Lord, hast borne for me more than my tongue can tell of bitterest agony, to rescue me from hell; thou sufferedst all for me; what have I borne for thee?

Verse 5

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?

Verse 6

O let my life be given my years for thee be spent; world-fetters all be riven, and joy with suff'ring blent: thou gavest thyself for me, I give myself to thee.
