Soft as the voice of an angel
Breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers a comforting word.

Wait til the darkness is over
Wait til the tempest is gone
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow
After the shower is gone.

Whispering hope,
oh how welcome thy voice
Making my heart
in its sorrow rejoice

If in the dusk of the twilight
Dim in 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,
oh how welcome they voice
Making my heart
in its sorrow rejoice.
