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

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

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

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

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

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