Whispering Hope - The Most BEAUTIFUL Hymn You've Ever Heard

Whispering Hope, the beloved 1868 hymn of hope, sung by Rosemary Siemens on piano and vocals with strings. A gentle, peaceful version of a hymn that has comforted hearts for over 150 years. A peaceful hymn for prayer, morning devotions, and quiet moments when your heart needs a little hope. I'm so excited to finally sing this one for you! Whispering Hope was written in 1868 by Septimus Winner, a Philadelphia violinist and music teacher whose father built violins. He published it under the pen name Alice Hawthorne, a nod to his mother, who was related to the author Nathaniel Hawthorne. He also wrote the words to "Listen to the Mockingbird" and "Oh Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone?" He wrote Whispering Hope as a duet, and this gentle duet went on to become one of his most beloved songs of all! Over the years it has been loved in recordings by Jim Reeves, Anne Murray, and the Gaithers, and now I'm so happy to share my own peaceful version with you. The hymn draws on Hebrews 6:19 (KJV): "Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast." Who sang Whispering Hope in your home growing up? Tell me in the comments, I read every single one! Whispering Hope 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 darkness 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 Making my heart In its sorrow rejoice Music Credits: Rosemary Siemens: Lead Vocals, Piano, String Orchestra Recorded and Produced by Eli Bennett Song Credits: Words and Music: Septimus Winner (1868) Arranged by: Rosemary Siemens 🎼 Get Rosemary's Hymn Sheet Music: https://shop.rosemarysiemens.com/coll... 🎤 Get Rosemary's Hymn Sing-Along Backing Tracks: https://shop.rosemarysiemens.com/ 📧 EMAIL LIST - Get the Sunday Hymn Serenade delivered to your inbox every Sunday: https://mailchi.mp/66ae7d397e8f/bring...
