76 This Is My Beloved Son 1959:23 With expression 1. Jesus entered Jordan’s waters When His work had just begun. God the Father spoke from heaven: [Chorus] “This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” 2. Nephites gazing into heaven Saw their white-robed Savior come. And they heard the Father witness: [Chorus] “This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” 3. Joseph saw two glorious beings Shining brighter than the sun. God again presented Jesus: [Chorus] “This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” 4. As I read the scriptures daily— Words of Christ, the Holy One— In my heart I’ll hear God tell me: [Chorus] “This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!” Words: Marvin K. Gardner, b. 1952 Music: Vanja Y.
