{title: The Darkest Hour Is Just Before Dawn}
{subtitle: Ralph Stanley}

The [C]sun is slowly [F]sinkin’
The [C]day is [G]almost [C]gone
Still [C]darkness falls a[F]round us
And [C]we must [G]journey [C]on

The [F]darkest hour is [C]just before dawn
The narrow way leads [G]home
Lay [C]down your soul at [F]Jesus’ [C]feet
The darkest hour is [G]just before [C]dawn

Like a [C]shepherd out on the [F]mountain
A [C]watchin’ the [G]sheep down [C]below
He’s [C]coming back to [F]claim us
Will [C]you be [G]ready to [C]go

The [F]darkest hour is [C]just before dawn
The narrow way leads [G]home
Lay [C]down your soul at [F]Jesus’ [C]feet

The darkest hour is [G]just before [C]dawn
The darkest hour is [G]just before [C]dawn
