What Will Your Answer Be?

When dawn­eth the last great day

And Christ as a judge you see

When called to ac­count for the good you have done

O what will your an­swer be?

What will your an­swer be?

O what will your an­swer be?

When life’s sha­dows fall

and Je­sus shall call

O what will your an­swer be?

Has life been for self alone

Or giv­en in serv­ice true?

Has an­yone en­tered the heav­en­ly goal

Because you have helped them thro’?

In love have you shared a load

Too hea­vy for one to bear?

Or spok­en a com­fort­ing word to a soul

Or whis­pered an ear­nest pray­er?

Thro’ all of your glad

bright days

What sac­ri­fice did you make?

O sure­ly a cup of cold wa­ter you gave

With joy

for your Lord’s dear sake?
