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 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 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 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 the ages roll And strive to help some troubled soul 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 The only life that will endure Is one that's kind and good and pure And for God I'll take my stand Each day I'll lend a helping hand
