A BEAUTIFUL LIFE

(by William M. Golden)


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;)
My life on earth 		(My 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.			(the best I can.)

	Life's evening sun 	(Life's evening sun)
	is sinking low,		(is sinking low,)
	A few more days, 		(A few more days,)
	and I must go		(and I must go)
	To meet the deeds 	(To meet the deeds)
	that I have done,		(that I have done,)
	Where there will be 	(Where there will be)
	no setting sun.		(no setting sun.)

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.

	Life's evening sun ...

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.

	Life's evening sun ...

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.

	Life's evening sun ...

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.

	Life's evening sun ...
