A Beautiful Life

Appears in 53 hymnals Hymnal Title: The New Wonderful Songs for Work and Worship First Line: Each day I'll do a golden deed Refrain First Line: Life's ev'ning sun is sinking low Lyrics: 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 ev'ning 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] 4 I'll help some one 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. [Refrain] 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. [Refrain] Used With Tune: [Each day I'll do a golden deed]
