Ralph Stanley
The Darkest Hour
[Verse 1]
The sun is slowly sinkin'
The day is almost gone
Still, darkness falls all 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
[Instrumental Break -- Fiddle & Mandolin featured]
[Verse 2]
Like a shepherd out on the mountain
Watchin’ 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
[Outro]
The darkest hour is just before dawn
