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



To be a child of God each day

My life must shine along the way

I'll sing His praise while the ages roll

And strive to help some troubled soul



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



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
