[Intro]
D A E7 A
[Verse]
A D A
Soft as the voice of an angel,
E7 A
Breathing a lesson unheard,
A7 D
Hope, with a gentle persuasion,
A E7 A
Whispers her comforting word.
E7 A
Wait till the darkness is over,
E B7 E E7
Wait till the tempest is done
A D A
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow,
E7 A
After the shower is gone.
[Refrain]
E7 A
Whispering Hope,
E7 A A7
Oh how welcome thy voice.
D A
Making my heart
E7 A
in its sorrow rejoice
[Verse]
A D A
If in the dusk of the twilight,
E7 A
Dim be the region afar,
A7 D
Will not the deepening darkness
A E7 A
Brighten the glimmer star?
E7 A
Then when the night is upon us
E B7 E E7
Why should the hearts sing away?
A D A
When the dark midnight is over,
E7 A
Watch for the breaking of day.
[Refrain]
E7 A
Whispering Hope,
E7 A A7
Oh how welcome thy voice.
D A
Making my heart
E7 A
in its sorrow rejoice
