1 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?
Refrain:
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?
2 Has life been for self alone,
Or given in service true?
Has anyone entered the heavenly goal,
Because you have helped them thro’? [Refrain]
3 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? [Refrain]
4 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? [Refrain]
