Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness
Author: Rusty Edwards, b. 1955 Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 19 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:16-21 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 blessed 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. Topics: Society; Redeemer Used With Tune: BEACH SPRING

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Author: Charles Wesley Meter: 8.6.8.6 Appears in 1,747 hymnals Scripture: Luke 4:16-21 Lyrics: 1 O for a thousand tongues to sing
my great Redeemer's praise,
the glories of my God and King,
the triumphs of his grace.
2 My gracious Master and my God,
assist me to proclaim,
to spread through all the earth abroad
the honors of thy name.
3 Jesus, the name that charms our fears,
that bids our sorrows cease;
'tis music in the sinner's ears,
'tis life and health and peace.
4 He breaks the pow'r of reigning sin,
he sets the pris'ner free;
his blood can make the foulest clean,
his blood availed for me.
5 He speaks and, list'ning to his voice,
new life the dead receive;
the mournful, broken hearts rejoice;
the humble poor believe.
6 Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb,
your loosen'd tongues employ;
ye blind, behold your Savior come;
and leap, ye lame, for joy.

we shall see him, but in heaven,
set at God's right hand on high,
when, like stars, his children crowned
all in white shall gather round.

the deaf to hear, the dumb to speak,
the dead to live; and lo, I break
the chains of my captivity!

the world in silence waits the day
when hope shall sing its triumph,
and sadness flee away.
Dear Saviour, haste! Come, come to earth.
Dispel the night and show your face,
and bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, Divine Messiah,
the world in silence waits the day
when hope shall sing its triumph,
and sadness flee away.
2 O Christ, whom nations sigh for,
whom priest and prophet long foretold,
come, break the captives' fetters,
redeem the long-lost fold.
Dear Saviour, haste! Come, come to earth.
Dispel the night and show your face,
and bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, Divine Messiah,
the world in silence waits the day
when hope shall sing its triumph,
and sadness flee away.
3 You come in peace and meekness
and lowly will your cradle be;
all clothed in human weakness
shall we your Godhead see.
Dear Saviour, haste! Come, come to earth.
Dispel the night and show your face,
and bid us hail the dawn of grace.
O come, Divine Messiah,
the world in silence waits the day
when hope shall sing its triumph,
and sadness flee away.
French:
Venez, divin Messie,
nous rendre espoir et nous sauver!
Vous êtes notre vie!
Venez, venez, venez!
1 O Fils de Dieu, ne tardez pas;
par votre corps donnez la joie
à notre monde en désarroi.
Redites-nous encore
de quel amour vous nous aimez;
tant d'hommes vous ignorent!
Venez, venez, venez!
2 A Bethlehem, les cieux chantaient
que le meilleur de vos bienfaits
c'était le don de votre paix.
Le monde la dédaigne:
partout les coeurs sont divisés!
Qu'arrive votre règne!
Venez, venez, venez!
3 Vous êtes né pour les pécheurs.
Que votre grâce, ô Dieu Sauveur,
dissipe en nous la nuit, la peur!
Seigneur, que votre enfance
nous fasse vivre en la clarté.
Soyez la délivrance!
Venez, venez, venez!
Venez, divin Messie,
nous rendre espoir et nous sauver!
Vous êtes notre vie!
Venez, venez, venez!

with your Spirit's healing breath.

restless for the common good.

quick to hear, to act, to plead;
make us truly sisters, brothers
of whatever race or creed:
teach us to be fully human,
open to each other's need. Topics: Compassion; Freedom; Healing; Intercession of the Church; International Affairs; Jesus Christ Humanity; Justice; Martyrs; Ministry of God's People; Mission/Sending; Our Love to Others; Unity of Humanity Used With Tune: TREDEGAR
