Author: Rusty Edwards Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 19 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Praise the One who breaks the darkness
with a liberating light;
praise the One who frees the prisoners,
turning blindness into sight.
Praise the One who preached the Gospel,
healing every 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 every 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.
