WHISPERING HOPE

Composed by Alice Hawthorne

(C)Soft as the (F)voice of an (C)angel
(G7)Breathing the lesson un(C)heard;
(C)Hope with a gentle per(F)suasion
(C)Whispers her (G)comforting (C)word.

(C)Wait till the (G)darkness is (C)over,
(G)Wait till the (D7)tempest is (G)done,
(C)Hope for the (F)sunshine to(C)morrow
(C)After the (G)shower is (C)gone.

First Chorus:
(G)Whispering (C)hope
Oh how (G)welcome thy (C)voice,
(F)Making my (C)heart in its (G)sorrow re(C)joice.

(C)If in the (F)dusk of the (C)twilight
(G7)Dim be the region a(C)far,
(C)Will not the deepening (F)darkness
(C)Brighten the (G)glimmering (C)star?

(C)Then when the (G)night is u(C)pon us
(G)Why should the (D7)heart sink a(G)way?
(C)When the dark (F)midnight is (C)over
(C)Watch for the (G)breaking of (C)day.

Second Chorus:
(G)Whispering (C)hope
[Whispering Hope] [Whispering Hope]
Oh how (G)welcome thy (C)voice,
[Welcome thy voice] [Welcome thy voice]
(F)Making my (C)heart in its (G)sorrow re(C)joice.

[Repeat Second Chorus]
