Whispering Hope
Septimus Winner aka Alice Hawthorn
1868

Verse
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.

Chorus

Soprano Whispering hope, Oh, how welcome thy voice, Making my heart In it's sorrow rejoice.

Alto Whispering hope, Whispering hope Welcome thy voice, Oh, how welcome thy voice, Making my heart, Making my heart In it's sorrow rejoice.

Verse
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.

Chorus

Soprano Whispering hope, Oh, how welcome thy voice, Making my heart In it's sorrow rejoice.

Alto Whispering hope, Whispering hope Welcome thy voice, Oh, how welcome thy voice, Making my heart, Making my heart In it's sorrow rejoice.

Verse
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.

Chorus

Soprano Whispering hope, Oh, how welcome thy voice, Making my heart In it's sorrow rejoice.

Alto Whispering hope, Whispering hope Welcome thy voice, Oh, how welcome thy voice, Making my heart, Making my heart In it's sorrow rejoice.
