This Is the Christ

"This is the Christ"

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!
