1. Soft as the voice of an angel
Breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers her comforting word
Wait, till the darkness is over
Wait, till the tempest is done
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow
After the shower is gone
Chorus:
Whispering Hope
Oh how welcome thy voice
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice
Whispering Hope
Oh how welcome thy voice
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice
2. If in the dusk of the twilight
Dim be the region afar
Will not the 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
Jack Alexander and Tom Alexander's 'Whispering Hope' is a gentle hymn of encouragement that speaks to the soul in times of darkness and sorrow. The song personifies hope as a soft, comforting voice that reassures the listener to wait patiently through life's storms, promising that joy will return after the pain. It draws on the imagery of night turning to dawn, urging the heart not to sink but to watch for the morning. The lyrics echo biblical themes of hope and endurance, reminiscent of passages like Psalm 30:5 about joy coming in the morning.
