HYMN HISTORY:
This beautiful and popular hymn was written by a man named Septimus Winne. He is best remembered for his
popular songs which he usually published under the name of Alice Hawthorne, it is widely believed that he did
not deem himself worthy to receive honor for the words he penned. He is also the author of many classic folk
tunes loved by children such as "Oh Where, Oh Where has my little dog gone?" Septimus was once charged
with treason against the government of the United States of America.
Septimus Winner was born in 1827 in Philadelphia, and because he was born the seventh child in his family
they named him Septimus. His father was a violin maker. After attending Philadelphia's Central High School,
Septimus and one of his brothers formed a music publishing business. By age twenty, he was also running his
own music shop. He later became a popular music instructor in Philadelphia, giving lessons in violin, guitar,
and banjo and performing with several of the city's bands and orchestras.
Winner's secular works are known in American folk music history as "Hawthorne's Ballads." the most popular
songs were "Listen to the Mocking Bird" which he later sold to another Philadelphia publisher for five dollars
and "Oh Where, Oh Where has my little dog gone?" which was written to a German tune.
It is said that the most interesting experience in his life occurred in 1862, after Abraham Lincoln had fired
General George B. McClellan for delays in attacking the Confederate Army. The firing of McClellan angered
Septimus who quickly published a song entitled, "Give Us Back Our Old Commander: Little Mac, The People's
Pride." The song sold over 80,000 copies in the first couple of days, leading to his arrest for treason. Septimus
was released when he agreed to destroy all the remaining copies of the song and apologized.
Following this most interesting time in his life, Septimus Winner produced over two hundred instructional books
for more than twenty instruments, he wrote thousands of musical arrangements, Whispering Hope being the
work he will most be remembered by. Septimus was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1970.
Septimus Winner based this beautiful hymn "Whispering Hope," on Hebrews 6:19, 1Thessalonians 5:8 and
Hebrews 12:1. The hymn was published in 1868, and was the last popular song he wrote before he died.
"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the
veil." Hebrews 6: 19

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
For we through the Spirit wait for the hope of righteousness by faith. Galatians 5:5
The sole condition on which God’s righteousness is imputed or credited to the believer is faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ. Faith is called a "condition," not because it possesses any merit, but only because it is the
instrument, the only instrument by which the soul receives Christ and his righteousness.
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17
It is necessary that the gospel be preached to a lost and dying world. Somebody must show them what they
are to believe. The gospel is given, not only to be known and believed, but to be obeyed. The Bible is not a
book of ideas or opinions, but rules to be obeyed. The beginning, the progress, and strength of faith is by
hearing. But it is only by hearing the word of God that our faith will be strengthened.
1. Christ is the author and finisher of FAITH - (Hebrews 12:2)
2. Christ dwells in the heart by FAITH - (Ephesians 3:17)
3. FAITH is a gift of the Holy Spirit - (1 Corinthians 12:9)
4. Without FAITH it is impossible to please God - (Hebrews 11:6)
5. FAITH is evidence of the new birth - (John 5:1)
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. James 1:3
Christianity teaches men to be joyful under troubles because such tests God's allowes to test our faith. Let us
take care, in times of trial, that patience, and not passion, is set to work in us: whatever is said or done, let
patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. James 1:5. When the work
of patience is complete, it will furnish the faith that is necessary for our Christian race and warfare.

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.
Breathing a lesson unheard,
Hope with a gentle persuasion
Whispers her comforting word:
Wait till the darkness is over,

Making my heart in its sorrow rejoice.
If, in the dusk of the twilight,

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.
