More about Linda J. Purnell:
I have been a ward organist, pianist and conductor for over 55 years. I enjoy composing new music for existing hymn lyrics.
Song background:

In 1996 I was a young women's president.  We had a youth choir and put on a performance for the ward.  I needed a piece that told the story of 3 Nephi Chapter 11 and couldn't find one.  Then I discovered 'This is the Christ' by Michael Moody, one of my favourite songs!  But it was too late, I had already composed my own 3 Nephi song.  So we sang both!  This is the original manuscript.  Some day I will write it out properly!  Lyrics were taken from 3 Nephi Chapter 11.

Lyrics: And it came to pass that there were a multitude gathered of the people of Nephi.
And while they were conversing one with another, they heard a voice as if it came out of heaven.
And they did look toward heaven from whence the sound came.
And it was not a harsh voice, neither was it loud,
It was a small voice that pierced their very souls and caused their hearts to burn
And they understood the voice and it said unto them,
Behold, my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased
In whom I have glorified my name....hear ye him.
And they saw a man, descending out of heaven
And he was clothed in a white robe
And he came down and stood in their midst
He stretched forth his hand and he spake, saying
Behold, I am Jesus Christ of whom the prophets testified
And I am the light of the world, and I have glorified the Father
In taking upon me the sins of the world, for I am the God of Israel
And the multitude cried, Hosanna, blessed be the name of the most high God
Hosanna, blessed be Thy name, we worship Thee our Lord
Hosanna, Hosanna, Blessed be thy name!
