The sun is [Bb] slowly sinking, [F] the day [C] is almost [F] gone.
Still darkness falls [Bb] around us [F] and we [C] must journey [F] on.
For [Bb] the darkest hour [F] is just before dawn, the [C] neverwaiting dawn.
[F] Lay down your soul [Bb] at Jesus' [F]
feet, the darkest hour [C] is just [F] before dawn.

Like a shepherd out [Bb] on a mountain,
[F] watching [C] the sheep [F] down below,
He's coming [Bb] back to claim us, [F] oh you be [C]
ready [F] to go.
[Bb] For the darkest [F] hour is just before dawn, the [C] neverwaiting dawn.
[F] Lay down your soul [Bb] at Jesus' [F] feet, the darkest hour [C]
is just [F] before dawn.
The darkest hour is [C] just before dawn.
