Each day I'll do a golden deed

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: 
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 so for God I'll take my stand 
Each day I'll lend a helping hand.

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.

I'll help someone in time of need 
And journey on with rapid speed; 
I'll help the sick and poor and weak 
And words of kindness to them speak.

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.

While going down life's weary road 
I'll try to lift some trav'ler's load; 
I'll try to turn the night to day 
Make flowers bloom along the way.

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.
