 1. I gave My life for thee, My precious blood I shed,
    That thou might ransomed be, and raised up 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 Father's 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. And I have brought to thee, down from My home above,
    Salvation full and free, My pardon and My love;
    I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, what hast thou brought to Me?
    I bring, I bring rich gifts to thee, what hast thou brought to Me?
