A Beautiful Life | William M. Golden

1. 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.
   • Refrain:
     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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
