Life's Evening Sun - Golden

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.

Chorus:
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.

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.

Chorus:
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.

Chorus:
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.

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.

Chorus:
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 trav'ler's load;
I'll try to turn the night to day
Make flowers bloom along the way.

Chorus:
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 Davis Sisters singing it

The Pilgrim Jubilees singing it

But nobody sung it like the Angola Prison Choir
