Soft as the voice of an angel,
Breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers 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 how welcome
Thy voice
Oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart In it’s 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 the day.
CHORUS
Whispering hope how welcome
Thy voice
Oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart In it’s sorrow rejoice.
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,
Never O never depart.
CHORUS
Whispering hope how welcome
Thy voice
Oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart In it’s sorrow rejoice.
