1 I gave My life for thee,
My precious blood I shed,
That thou might'st ransomed be,
And quickened from the dead;
I gave, I gave My life for thee–
What hast thou giv'n for Me?
I gave, I gave My life for thee–
What hast thou giv'n for Me?
2 My Father's house of light,
My glory-circled throne,
I left, for earthly night,
For wand'rings 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 I suffered much for thee,
More than thy tongue can tell,
Of bitt'rest agony,
To rescue thee from hell;
I've borne, I've borne it all for thee–
What hast thou borne for Me?
I've borne, I've borne it all for thee–
What hast thou borne for Me?
4 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?
Thanks, yes Baca looks correct. (There is another Baca by someone else to add to the confusion).
Also it appears this tune is usually sung to the hymn text with the words 'the other way round' see: https://hymnary.org/text/thy_life_was_given_for_me
