G           C           G      Am          D      G
Soft as the voice of an angel, breathing a lesson unheard
G                    C         G            D          G
Hope with a gentle persuasion, whispers her comforting word
G              G               Am                       D
Wait till the darkness is over, wait till the tempest is done
G            C        G         G            D          G
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow, after the darkness is gone


[Chorus]

D          G           D           G
Whispering hope oh how welcome Thy voice
C          G            D         G
Making my heart in it's sorrow rejoice


[Verse]

G         C           G         Am          D      G
If in the dusk of the twilight, dim be the region afar
G                    C           G            D          G
Will not the deepening darkness, brighten the glimmering star
G              G                Am                       D
Then when the night is upon us, why should the heart sink away
G            C        G         G            D          G
When the dark midnight is over, watch for the breaking of day


[Chorus]

D          G           D           G
Whispering hope oh how welcome Thy voice
C          G            D         G
Making my heart any sorrow rejoice
