Text

They heard His voice, a voice so mild;
It pierced them through and made their
souls to quake;
They saw him come, a man in white,
The Savior who had suffered for their sake.

They felt the wounds in hands and side,
And each could testify: This is the Christ;

This is the Christ, the holy Son of God,
Our Savior, Lord, Redeemer of mankind.
This is the Christ, the healer of our souls

Who ransomed us with love divine.

I read His words, the words He prayed
While bearing sorrow in Gethsemane;
I feel His love, the price He paid
How many drops of blood were spilled for me?

With saints of old in joyful cry
I too can testify: This is the Christ;

This is the Christ, the holy Son of God,
Our Savior, Lord, Redeemer of mankind.
This is the Christ, the healer of our souls
Who ransomed us with love divine.
