Oldtime Stringband

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:
Whispering hope, oh how welcome Thy voice
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.

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:
