A           D           A
Soft as the voice of an angel

E7                   A       E7
Breathing a lesson unheard

A           D         A
Hope with a gentle persuasion

A            E7         A
Whispers her comforting word

 A             D           A
"Wait till the darkness is over

E7            B7         E     E7
Wait till the tempest is done

A            D          A
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow

A         E7        A
After the shower is gone"
[Chorus]
E7                    A
Whispering whispering hope

        E7          A
Oh, how welcome thy voice

D         A            E7        A       D A
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice
[Verse 2]
A         D           A
If in the dusk of the twilight

E7                  A    E7
Dim be the region afar

A                      D
Will not the deepening darkness

A            E          A
Brighten the glimmering star?

A             E7         A
Then when the night is upon us

E              B7           E    E7
Why should the heart sink away?

A             D           A
When the dark midnight is over

A             E7          A    D A
Watch for the breaking of day
[Chorus]
E7                    A
Whispering whispering hope

        E7          A
Oh, how welcome thy voice

D         A            E7        A      D A
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice
[Interlude] | A | D | A | A | | E7 | E7 | A | A | | A | A7 | D | D | | A | E7 | A | A | [Verse 3]
A           D         A
Hope, as an anchor so steadfast

E                           A      E7
Rends the dark veil for the soul

A                      D
Whither the Master has entered

A           E            D
Robbing the grave of its goal

A            E             A
Come then, O come, glad fruition

E          B7        E
Come to my sad weary heart

A            D             A
Come, O Thou blest hope of glory

A        E7       A    D A
Never, O never depart
[Chorus]
E7                    A
Whispering whispering hope

        E7          A
Oh, how welcome thy voice

D         A            E7        A     D A
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice
