Each day I'll do, each day I'll do,
a golden deed, a golden deed,
by helping those, by helping those,
who are in need, who are in need,
by life on earth, by life on earth,
is but a span, is but a span, and so I'll do,
and so I'll do the best I can. Life's evenin',
son, it's sinkin' low
A few more days, I must go
To meet the deed that I have done
Where there will be no settin'
sun
To be a child of God each day
My light will shine along the way
I'll sing His praise upon an gels' row
And try to help some troubled soul
Life's evenin', son, is sinkin' low
A few more days, and I must go
To meet the deed that I have done
Where there will be no
setting sun
Life's evenin', son, it's sinkin' low
A few more days I must go
To meet the deed that I have done
For there will be no setting sun,
no setting sun.
