Londonderry Boys Choir - Whispering Hope Lyrics

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

Whispering hope (whispering hope)
Oh, how welcome thy voice
Making my heart (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

Whispering hope (whispering hope)
Oh, how welcome thy voice
Making my heart (making my heart)
In its 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 goal

Come then, oh, come, glad fruition
Come to my sad weary heart
Come, O Thou blest hope of glory
Never, oh, never depart

Whispering hope (whispering hope)
Oh, how welcome thy voice
Making my heart (making my heart)
In its sorrow rejoice
