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

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

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

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

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

The darkest hour is [A]just before [D]dawn
The darkest hour is [A]just before [D]dawn
