Soft as the voice of an angel Breathing a lesson unheard Hope with a gentle persuasion Whispers a comforting word Wait till the darkness is over Wait till the tempest is done Hope for the sunshine tomorrow After the shower is gone Whispering hope (Whispering hope, whispering hope) Oh, how welcome thy voice (Whispering hope) Making my heart (Making my heart) In its sorrow rejoice If in the dusk of the twilight Dimmed be the region afar Wilt deepening darkness Brighten the glimmering star Then when the night is upon us Why should the heart sink away? When the dark midnight is over Watch for the breaking of day Whispering hope (Whispering hope, whispering hope) Oh, how welcome thy voice (Whispering hope) Making my heart (Making my heart) In its sorrow rejoice Whispering hope (Whispering hope, whispering hope) Oh, how welcome thy voice (Whispering hope) Making my heart (Making my heart) In its sorrow rejoice
