Artist: the stanley brothers
Song: a beautiful life
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 even 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
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
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
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
While going down life's weary road
I'll try to lift some travler's load
I'll try to turn the night to day
Make flowers bloom along the way.
