soft as a 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 sunshine tomorrow after the shower is gone whispering hope oh how welcome thy voice making my heart in it s sorrow rejoice hope as an anchor so steadfast rends the dark veil for the soul whither the master has entered robbing the grave of its gold come then oh come glad fruition come to my sad weary heart come oh thou blest hope to glory never oh never depart whispering hope
