Whispering Hope

[Verse 1]

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"

[Chorus]

Whispering hope, oh, how welcome thy voice

Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

[Verse 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, O Thou blest hope of glory, never, O never depart

[Chorus]
