Our hope, our strenth, our trust! We pray for all HOME
the nations For all our deeds unjust. 219 Thy life was given for me
In all our tribulations Verse 1
We know you'll see us through, Thy life was given for me,
And when life's journey's ended Thy blood, O Lord, was shed,
We'll rest in peace with you. 4/4 That I might ransomed be,
HOME And quickened from the dead;
218 My faith looks up to thee Thy life was given for me;
Verse 1 What have I given for thee? 1/5
My faith looks up to thee, Thou lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine: Verse 2
Now hear me while I pray; Thy Father's home of light,
Thy rainbow-circled throne,
Take all my guilt away; Were left for earthly night,
O let me from this day For wanderings sad and lone:
Be wholly thine. 1/4 Yea, all was left for me;
Have I left aught for thee? 2/5
Verse 2
May Thy rich grace impart Verse 3
Strength to my fainting heart, Thou, Lord, hast borne for me
My zeal inspire; More than my tongue can tell
Of bitterest agony,
As Thou hast died for me, To rescue me from hell:
O may my love to thee Thou suffer'dst all for me;
Pure, warm, and changeless be, What have I borne for thee? 3/5
A living fire. 2/4
Verse 4
Verse 3 And thou hast brought to me
While life's dark maze I tread, Down from thy home above,
And griefs around me spread, Salvation full and free,
Be Thou my guide; Thy pardon and thy love:
Great gifts thou broughtest me;
Bid darkness turn to day, What have I brought to thee? 4/5
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray Verse 5
From Thee aside. 3/4 O let my life be given,
My years for thee be spent,
Verse 4 World fetters all be riven,
When ends life's transient dream, And joy with suffering blent:
When death's cold, sullen stream Thou gavest thyself for me;
Shall o'er me roll, I give myself to thee. Amen. 5/5
HOME
Blest Saviour, then in love, 220 All for Jesus - all for Jesus,
Fear and distrust remove; Verse 1
O bear me safe above, All for Jesus - all for Jesus,
A ransomed soul. Amen. 4/4 This our song shall ever be:
