Soft as a voice of an angel breathing a lesson unheard
Hope with a gentle persuasion whispers a 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
Making my heart any sorrow rejoice

If in the dusk of the twilight dimmed be the region afar
Will not the deepening darkness writin' the glittering 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...
