The darkest hour is just before the day Don't you be discouraged don't you be dismaded Things may not look bright But God will make them right Behind every dark cloud there's a silver lining After the storm you can see the sun shining May not come when you want but he's right on time [Chorus:] (The darkest hour is just before the day Don't you be discouraged don't you be dismaded) (The darkest hour is just before the day Behind every dark cloud theres a silver lining) [Chorus 2x] Hold on [3x] (hold on) [3x] [Chorus 2x] Theres a brighter day A brighter day is coming (There's a brighter day A brighter day is coming) [6x]
