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

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


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 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

While going down life's weary road

I'll try to lift some traveler's load
I'll try to turn the night to day
Make flowers bloom along the way


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
No setting sun
