Each day I ll do a golden deed-

Each day I ll do a golden deedBy helping those who are in needMy life on earth is but a spanAnd so I ll do the best I canRefrainLife s evening sun is sinking lowA few more days and I must goTo meet the deeds that I have doneWhere there will be no setting sunTo be a child of God each dayMy light must shine along the wayI ll sing His praise while ages rollAnd strive to help some troubled soulThe only life that will endureIs one that s kind and good and pureAnd so for God I ll take my standEach day I ll lend a helping handI ll help someone in time of needAnd journey on with rapid speedI ll help the sick and poor and weakAnd words of kindness to them speakWhile going down life s weary roadI ll try to lift some trav ler s loadI ll try to turn the night to dayMake flowers bloom along the way
