Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness

Author: Rusty Edwards, b. 1955 Hymnal: Hymnal Supplement 98 #881 (1998) Meter: 8.7.8.7 D 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 very Bread of peace. 2 Praise the One who bless'd the children With a strong, yet gentle word; Praise the One who drove out demons With the 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.
