When the gold­en sun from my sight’s des­cend­ed,
And I turn from earth and its cares away,
Often to my mind comes the so­lemn question,
O what have I done for the Lord to­day?

Refrain

O what have I done to ad­vance His king­dom?
Have I sought one soul from the fold as­tray?
Have I sowed good seed, or been stand­ing idle?
O what have I done for the Lord to­day?

With my words and deeds I have bi­ased others;
How it fills my soul with un­told dis­may!
Tho’ I would re­call, they re­main for­ev­er;
O what have I done for the Lord to­day?

Refrain

Have I hon­ored God with my earn­est ef­forts,
Striving His com­mands ev­er to ob­ey?
Toiling in His name, prais­ing Him for bless­ings,
O what have I done for the Lord tod­ay?

Refrain
