The Stanley Brothers - A Beautiful Life lyrics

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.
