Sermon : Creed : Hymn E391 : Thy life was given for me

1.    SERMON

2.    NICENE CREED AND PRAYER (MINISTER)

3.    HYMN EMHB 391

1.    Thy 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.    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?

3.    Thou, Lord, hast borne for me

More than my tongue can tell

Of bitterest agony,

To rescue me from hell;

Thou suffer’dst all for me;

What have I borne for Thee?

4.    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?

5.    O let my life be given,

My years for Thee be spent,

World-fetters all be riven,

And joy with suffering blent:

Thou gav’st Thyself for me,

I give myself to Thee.

Amen.
