Whispering Hope

Jo Stafford

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


Whispering hope (whispering hope)


Oh, how welcome thy voice


Making my heart (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 (whispering hope)


Oh, how welcome thy voice


Making my heart (making my heart)


In it´s sorrow rejoice
