[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
The Darkest Hour Is Just Before Dawn was written by Ralph Stanley.
