Jesus Will Answer for Me

When called to the judg­ment at last

And life shall be fin­ished and past

O what would my dread por­tion be

Were no one there plead­ing for me?

But I have an Ad­vo­cate plead­ing for me

Who bore all my sins

and who died on the tree

And when I stand there

I will make but this plea:

That Je­sus will an­swer for me.

I know I am wor­thy to die

My sins I can nev­er de­ny

And at the great judg­ment I see

One hope for a sin­ner like me.

The an­gels must cast me away

In trem­bling and hope­less dis­may;

But Je­sus who died in my place

Will win for me par­don­ing grace.
