Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness
Author: Rusty Edwards, b. 1955 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 Lyrics: 1 Praise the one who breaks the darkness
with a liberating light;
praise the one who frees the pris'ners,
turning blindness into sight.
Praise the one who preached the gospel,
healing ev'ry dread disease,
calming storms and feeding thousands
with the Father's word of peace.
2 Praise the one who blessed the children
with a strong yet gentle word;
praise the one who drove out demons
with a piercing, two-edged sword.
Praise the one who brings cool water
to the desert's burning sand;
from this well comes living water,
quenching thirst in ev'ry land.
3 Let us praise the Word incarnate,
Christ, who suffered in our place;
Jesus died and rose victorious
that we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
seeing what our God has done;
let us praise the true Redeemer,
praise the one who makes us one. Topics: Redeemer Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

Praise to the Holiest in the height
Author: John Henry Newman, 1801-1890 Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 170 hymnals Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:22 Lyrics: 1 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise:
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways.
2 O loving wisdom of our God!
When all was sin and shame,
a second Adam to the fight
and to the rescue came.
3 O wisest love! that flesh and blood,
which did in Adam fail,
should strive afresh against the foe,
should strive and should prevail;
4 And that a higher gift than grace
should flesh and blood refine,
God's presence and his very self,
and essence all-divine.
5 O generous love! that he, who smote
in Man for man the foe,
the double agony in Man
for man should undergo;
6 And in the garden secretly,
and on the cross on high,
should teach his brethren, and inspire
to suffer and to die.
7 Praise to the Holiest in the height,
and in the depth be praise:
in all his words most wonderful,
most sure in all his ways. Topics: Good Friday; Proper 5 Year B; Passiontide and Holy Week Used With Tune: GERONTIUS

o'er the tomb he light has shed.

he doth us salvation bring. Topics: Christ Passion and Atoning Death of; Christ Praise of; Christ Resurrection of; Death Conquered; Imputation of Righteousness; Post-Communion Used With Tune: UPP, MIN TUNGA
