WHISPERING HOPE
Words and music by
Septimus Winner.
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,
Oh how welcome your voice,
Oh how welcome your 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.
Whispering hope,
Oh how welcome your voice,
Oh how welcome your voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
Hope, as an anchor steadfast,
rends the dark veil for the soul,
Whither the Master has entered,
robbing the grave of its goal.
Come then, O come, glad fruition,
come to my sad weary heart;
Come, O Thou blest hope of glory,
never, O never depart.
Whispering hope,
Oh how welcome your voice,
Oh how welcome your voice,
Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
"I have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before me. This hope I have as an anchor of my soul, both sure and steadfast." From Hebrews 6:18,19
Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13 WEB)
