Soft as the voice of an angelBreathing a lesson unheardOh, with a gentle persuasionWhispers her comforting wordsWait till the darkness is overWait till life's tempest is doneHope for the sunshine tomorrowAfter the sunshine is goneWhispering hopeOh, how well I comeBy voice of an angelWhispering hopeMaking my heartIn its sorrow rejoiceThen when the night is upon usWhy should the heart sinkAway from me?When the dark midnight is overWatch for the breaking of dayWhispering hopeOh, how well I comeBy voice of an angelWhispering hopeMaking my heartIn its sorrow rejoice
