Title: Thy life was given for me

Hymn Lyrics www.traditionalmusic.co.uk - Christian Hymn Lyrics.  

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