Whispering Hope

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 darkness is gone

Whispering hope
Oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart
In its sorrow rejoice

If in the dusk of the twilight
Dimmed be the region afar
Will not the deepening darkness
Brighten the glittering 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,
Oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart
In its sorrow rejoice...
