125. I gave my life for thee, My precious blood
I gave my life for thee, My precious blood I shed,
That thou might’st 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 Father’s 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 thy tongue can tell
Of bitter agony To rescue thee from hell:
I suffered much for thee, What canst thou bear for me?
