[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
