Lyrics

When the storm is rag­ing
And the heart is sad,
Listen for the whis­pers of Je­sus;
Surely you will hear them,
And they’ll make you glad,
Listen for the whis­pers of Je­sus.

Refrain

Listen! List­en!
Listen for the whis­pers of Je­sus!
Surely you will hear them,
And they’ll make you glad,
Listen for the whis­pers of Je­sus!

When be­neath a bur­den
You are bend­ing low,
Listen for the whis­pers of Je­sus;
When your friends for­sake you
And the sad tears flow,
Listen for the whis­pers of Je­sus.

Refrain

When the night seems end­less,
When for cour­age pressed,
Listen for the whis­pers of Je­sus;
When the soul is wea­ry
And you sigh for rest,
Listen for the whis­pers of Je­sus.
