I Gave My Life for Thee by Frances R. Havergal, 1836-1879 1. I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed, That thou mightst ransomed be And quickened from the dead. I gave My life for thee; What hast thou given for Me? 2. I spent long years for thee In weariness and woe That an eternity Of joy thou mightest know. I spent long years for thee; Hast thou spent one for Me? 3. My Fathers home of light, My rainbow-circled throne, I left for earthly night, For wanderings sad and lone. I left it all for thee; Hast thou left aught for Me? 4. I suffered much for thee, More than My tongue may tell, Of bitterest agony, To rescue thee from hell. I suffered much for thee; What canst thou bear for Me? 5. And I have brought to thee Down from My home above Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love. Great gifts I brought to thee; What hast thou brought to Me? 6. Oh, let thy life be given, Thy years for Me be spent, Worlds fetters all be riven, And joy with suffering blent! I gave Myself for thee: Give thou thyself to Me. Hymn #405 The Lutheran Hymnal Text: Phil. 1:27 Author: Frances R. Havergal, 1858 Composer: Thomas Este, 1592 Tune: Old 120th 1st Published in: Psalter
