WHISPERING HOPE Words & music by Septimus Winner, 1868 This version by Jo Stafford and Gordon MacRae charted 20 August, 1949 NOTE: Some hymnals may list the author as "Alice Hawthorne" one of Winner's several pseudonyms. --LYRICS-- 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 thy 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 thy voice, Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice. Hope, as an anchor so 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 thy voice, Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.

Hey, thanks for dropping by. I have been so busy lately I can barely answer comments. My correspondence is a disaster. Maybe this weekend I can catch up a little. Cheers

My sister who's gone now, and I sang this together from the time we were young kids until she passed away. Maybe she can sing it now with Jo. Both had beautiful voices. Rest well ladies.

This was popular when we were young children - we all took it for granted we would always have beautiful music on the radio. Ah, dear.
