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 dowerness is gone

Whispering hope

Oh how welcome my 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 day

Whispering hope

Oh how welcome my voice

Making my heart in it's sorrow rejoice
