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

And live eternally with god's son

To be a child of god

Each day my light must shine along the way

I'll sing this praise while ages row

And strive to help some troubled soul

The only life that will endure

Is one that's kind and good and pure

And so forgot

I'll take my stand

Today alenda helping hand

While going down life's weary road

I'll try to lift some travelers load

To turn the night today

Make flowers bloom along the way
