Lyrics
1. Soft as the voice of an angel
Weaving 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.
2. If in the dusk of the twilight,
Dim be the region afar,
Will no 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.
3. Hope as an anchor so steadfast,
Rends the dark veil for the soul.
Whither the Master has entered,
Robbing the grave of its goal.
Come then o come, glad fruition,
Come to my sad, weary heart.
Come oh thou blest hope of glory,
Never, oh never depart.
