Each day I'll do a golden deed
By helping those who are in need
My life on earth is but a span
And so I'll do the best I can.
Chorus:
Life's evening sun is sinking low
A few more days and I must go
To meet the deeds that I have done
Where there will be no setting sun.
To be a child of God each day
My light must shine along the way
I'll sing His praise while ages roll
And strive to help some troubled soul.
Chorus:
While going down life's weary road
I'll try to lift some traveler's load
I'll try to turn the night to day
Make flowers bloom along the way.
Chorus:
The only life that we'll endure
Is the one that's kind and good and pure
And so for God I'll take my stand
Each day I'll lend a helping hand.
Chorus:
