Refrain:
Whispering hope,
Oh, how welcome thy voice,
Making my heart
In it's sorrow rejoice.

2. Hope has an anchor so steadfast,
Rends the dark veil for the soul.
Wither the Master has entered,
Robbing the grave of its goal.
Come then O come glad fruition,
Come to my sad weary soul.
Come Thou O blessed hope of glory,
Never O never depart.

3. 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.
