[Verse 1]
G           C           G
Soft as the voice of an angel
Am          D        G      D
breathing a lesson unheard
G                     C
Hope with a gentle persuasion
G            D          G
whispers her comforting word
G              G
Wait till the darkness is over
Am                       D
Wait till the tempest is done
G            C          G
Hope for the sunshine tomorrow
G         D           G
after the darkness is gone.

[Chorus]
D          G           D           G
Whispering hope oh how welcome Thy voice
C          G            D        G
Making my heart in it's sorrow rejoice.

[Verse 2]
G         C           G
If in the dusk of the twilight
Am         D       G
Dim be the region afar
G                      C
Will not the deepening darkness
G            D          G
brighten the glimmering star
G                      G
Then when the night is upon us
Am                         D
Why should the heart sink away
G             C           G
When the dark midnight is over
G              D          G
watch for the breaking of day.

[Chorus]
D          G           D           G
Whispering hope oh how welcome Thy voice
C          G            D        G
Making my heart in it's sorrow rejoice.
