What Hast Thou Done for Me?

By Frances Ridley Havergal

I GAVE my life for thee, My precious blood I shed, That thou might'st ransom'd be, And quickened from the dead. I gave, I gave my life for thee; What hast thou given for me?

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 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?

And I have brought to thee Down from my home above, Salvation full and free, My pardon and my love; I bring rich gifts to thee; What hast thou brought to me?

Oh, let thy life be given, Thy years that yet remain, World-fetters all be riven, Give me thy joy and pain; Give thou, give thou thyself to me, And I will welcome thee. —Miss Frances Ridley Havergal.
