Lyrics:

(ralph stanley) The sun is slowly sinkin' The day's almost gone Still darkness falls around us And we must journey on 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 Like a shepherd out on the mountain A-watchin' the sheep down below He's coming back to claim us Will you be ready to go The darkest hour is just before dawn The narrow way leads home Lay down your soul Let jesus in The darkest hour is just before dawn The darkest hour is just before dawn
