Try 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 ?
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 ?
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 for me : Have I left aught for Thee ?
4. Thou, Lord, hast borne for me More than my tongue can tell Of bitterest agony, To rescue me from hell. Yhoa sufferedst all for me : What have I borne for Thee ?
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 ?
6. Oh, let my life be given, My years for Thee be spent ; World-fetters all be riven, And joy with suffering blent : To Thee my all I bring, My Saviour and my King !
