Whispering Hope

Soft as the voice of an angel Breathing a lesson unheard Hope with a gentle persuasion Whispers her comforting word Wait `til the darkness is over Wait `til 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 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 Oh, how welcome thy voice Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice
