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
Whispering hope (whispering hope)
Oh, how welcome thy voice (welcome thy voice)
Making my heart (making my heart)
In its sorrow rejoice
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 (whispering hope)
Oh, how welcome thy voice (welcome thy voice)
Making my heart (making my heart)
In its sorrow rejoice
