Ralph Stanley
The Darkest Hour Is Just Before Dawn
[Chorus]
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet
The darkest hour is just before dawn

[Verse 1]
The sun is slowly sinking
The day is almost gone
Still darkness falls around us
And we must journey on

[Chorus]
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet
The darkest hour is just before dawn

[Verse 2]
Like a shepherd out on the mountain
A watching the sheep down below
He's coming back to claim us
Will you be ready to go?

[Chorus]
The darkest hour is just before dawn
The narrow way leads home
Lay down your soul at Jesus' feet
The darkest hour is just before dawn
