Alfie Boe sings "Bring Him Home," from Les Misérables in an awe-inspiring moment at the 2012 Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. Music by Claude-Michel Schönberg.

Lyrics:
God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there

He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on
And I am old
And will be gone.

Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy

You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die, let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

My brother took his own life 2 weeks ago, I have chosen this for his ceremony, I hope he’s safe at peace and surrounded by love ❤

[MikeSala]

My wife an I always remember our son Alex when we hear this amazing song. Alex passed away when he was just fifteen and we knew then as we know now he wasn't dead. He just went back home to our Heavenly Father. Some day we'll be reunited again because families are forever.

[stevelangland]

I have to attend the funeral of a young man who died in a freak accident last Thursday and he leaves behind a wife and two young sons and a baby on the way. I'm old and battling cancer. I honestly wish I could exchange my life for his. I've lived a full life and experienced many things, he has sons who will never know how truly amazing their father was.

[dianeedwards]

Have chosen this for my Dad's funeral next week. We're bringing him home and he'll be at peace with his beloved wife again xx

[roslynkeen]

My son was killed in Afghanistan in 2007.I always think of him when I hear this song.Miss him every day.love you always darling boy.Mam.xxx

[vanessalongfellow]

one night I couldn't stop listening to this. The next day I heard my nephew died. He was living on the streets alcohol ruined him. It brought so much peace to me and his family! Blessing!

[RedBaron-kgwk]

This was My prayer when my wife was struggling with a rare disease..
"GOD.. PLEASE BRING HER HOME...TO ME.."
She passed away 3-months ago..after we celebrated our 44th-Anniversary😢..

The Good LORD BROUGHT HER HOME TO A MUCH PERFECT PLACE than l can ever offer..😥🙏

[hayleybell]

What you don't hear in this recording is the entire 22, 000 seat house holding their breath through the end, then the 3-4 minute standing ovation. It was a spiritual experience.

[johnpluchino]

My son left me shortly after he returned from the war in Iraq as a United States Marine never to see or hear from him again, each time I listen to this song I prayer that he will return one day.

[FromtheHerts]

You could probably fill a swimming pool with all the tears people have cried watching Les Miserables over the years.

[billiondollardan]

I love the fact that every time I've seen Alfie Boe perform this song, he looks like he's really praying. It feels like the words and the pain they represent are his

[helenstrong]

This was my prayer when my granddaughter had to undergo an 8 hour heart operation. Thanks to God and the medical team she came home... I cry every time I hear it. Beautiful rendition.

[monalisa]

My son is home but he is not... praying he will return to his true self... to his real home in his heart. My love for you son is boundless and I will always pray you come home... to your real home.

[donalddenton]

Whenever I hear this song, I think of my eldest son...we haven't spoken in years...he is still in my prayers.

[rovingdodge]

I played this song to my elderly mother and it made her cry....she died a month ago and I miss her so very much. Love you Mum.

[placidojr.menaje]

This is the best rendition of Bring Him Home by Alfie Boe. He gave his all here.

[marlenemitchell]

Can't you just hear the Father saying to you, "Bring them home". He loves us all so much. He wants us all Home with him and with each other.

[rosanndavis]

Get you . I sang this every nite in me head. Whilst my son my 2 year old boy was fighting cancer. 13 years on. One special young man. 🐼

[rebeccaliq]

I had this for my Dad😢 I so wish I could have him here with me 😭😭🫣

[glennsprigg]

My mum died when I was just a child.... My father was incredibly hurt, as they were both relatively young, and still very much in love.... Now, as I am now mature, my Father had wanted one day, to be buried with our 'mum' ....
And now that he too has now passed, his dream came true.... And he is now laid to rest on top of my Mum in the grave.... So now he has 'truly' Come Home....
