President James E. Faust composed this song, and I think this would have included in the Church hymnbook. Everytime the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square performed this hymn, it brings so much tears in my eyes. Thank you for uploading this very quickly.

[@janicestoker305]

President Faust wrote the lyrics. The music was composed by Michael Moody. This rendition was arraigned by Mack Wilberg. It is stunning!

[@ralphcorneliuscastro]

@@janicestoker305 thank you for clarifying this. I appreciate it. :) I also just knew that Jan Pinborough co-wrote the lyrics too with him!

[@brianbrunner7807]

It's not a 4 part harmony, putting it in the hymnal is the wrong place. The degree of difficulty for the average ward or stake or their choir is over our ability.

[@ratman5106]

@brian brunner This arrangement is overly advanced for the average ward, but it would be easy to put in a simpler version

[@HellerVali]

This is over complicated. Bra la la la. Yes. Yes. 2:27

[@長安京子]

一番大好きな曲です。聞いたり歌うとキリストの雰囲気が感じられます。

[@micahbrown4910]

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 purest love divine! Who ransomed us with purest love divine

Thank you for sharing 🙏

I can’t get enough of this song. Heard it several times before my husband and I attended the temple last week for the first time in 11 years. Since then, I’ve heard it in my dreams, when I first wake up and sometimes throughout the day. My heart is full of gratitude for this majestic and loving song of our Savior Jesus Christ. ❤🕊️

[@madaboutjd]

I saw a sweet sister singing with tears running down her face. It does the same thing to me. I love this song and nobody does it better.

[@Candy-sy6eo]

This took my breath away - especially the acapella section!

[@Teeteeskitchen]

I so much love the song. It has been on repeat since the conference

[@Bro.Nielson]

Listened to this song after reading 3rd Nephi 11: 1-17. Such a beautiful song.

[@nancypenarrieta4741]

This is the Christ may it be well-known through the whole wide world the whole universe❤

[@henryponnefz1419]

Amazing, powerful beautiful, inspired!

[@justanotherlamanite]

My very favorite song. I hope it is included in the hymnbook someday!

[@lesley4215]

Made my heart swell. Made me think, can you hear your choir Present Monson?!!❤❤❤

[@ThisIsTheChrist]

This is my favorite song ever! Every time I listen to it, it brings me such joy and comfort. I know that Jesus is the Christ.

[@nikkifellows6948]

I think this is a little different accompianment that the one I originally knew. It's beautiful nonetheless!! I love this hymn!

[@janicestoker305]

Brother Wilberg is a genius at “arraignment”. This rendition is is heavenly in every respect! (The same can be said for his arraignment of ‘I Believe in Christ’.

[@seb-seb-seb-seb]

This is arranged by Barlow Bradford, Dr. Wilberg's former colleague.​@@janicestoker305

[@millenialhymns]

This song will now be added to the hymnbook I believe. ❤️

[@jordankannianen1302]

It was very special hearing this in person for the first time! Spiritually powerful.

[@bluzone7]

See the beauty of the morning Gods own son will soon be here. See the brightness in the heavens Jesus will return in glory. Praise the name of our Redeemer give glory to our God it is Christ our burdens carry my our hearts be meek and low. With a bow above his head for this is the Christ the prophets have said. He will come to heal the broken hearted that a new life might be started. Let us kneel before our risen Lord and with our voices may we sing with one accord.

[@JazzyUnderscoreTrumpeter]

This is incredibly beautiful.

[@lauramcniff8923]

I didnt get to watch Saturday sessions so maybe I was extra hungry for the spirit come Sunday, but this performance was sweet for me. I loved this performance of "This is the Christ". There have been a few times in my choir days where the spirit of what I was singing poured out in tears... and I can not think of another time that I saw Mormon Tabernacle choir members visably moved to tears. I loved this.

[@charityneverfaileth]

Full of love and peace, wanting me to testify more and more that Jesus is the Christ! Thank you Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square! Everyone was moved when you played this during your Philippines Concert Tour🧡

This is a statement hymn about our Saviour, Jesus Christ ❤. So powerful.

[@cleanandmaintain2873]

This is a beautiful song

[@crystalayers2933]

"This Is the Christ" was written by James E. Faust? I bet and hope they will include it in the new Hymnbook. I wonder when the new hymnbook will be made available?

[@ethandenton3393]

I'm not sure about that, it's too long with different parts and key changes, unless they simplify it.

[@deniselyttel2594]

It is a sacred, choral song, not a hymn.

[@SaraSoliz-p9c]

Solo miraré asta las 9despues quiero dormir no puedo mirar tantos vídeos porque no es de día es. De noche 🌉 quiero dormir solo alas 9me😅 quiero dormir estoy😴😴 con sueño😮

[@debbieapperson3026]

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!👏👏👏👏

[@wombamakuwanashiwaya5879]

Does someone know the lyrics to this hymn, it gave me goosebumps the other day? when did Elder James E. Faust compose it?

[@retrogamerdave362]

words by Faust, music by Michael F. Moody, who also composed the children's song "He Sent His Son" he definitely is a master of his craft, having completed his doctorate in church music at USC

[@gw9043]
