Verse 

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

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

Verse 

G         C           G         Am          D      G 
If in the dusk of the twilight, dim be the region afar 
G                    C           G            D          G 
Will not the deepening darkness, brighten the glimmering star 
G              G                Am                       D 
Then when the night is upon us, why should the heart sink away 
G            C        G         G            D          G 
When the dark midnight is over, watch for the breaking of day 

D          G           D           G 
Whispering hope oh how welcome Thy voice 
C          G            D         G 
Making my heart any sorrow rejoice
