Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness
Author: Rusty Edwards, 1955- 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 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 every land.
3 Praise the one true love incarnate:
Christ who suffered in our place.
Jesus died and rose for many
that we may know God by grace.
Let us sing for joy and gladness,
seeing what our God has done.
Praise the one redeeming glory;
praise the One who makes us one. Scripture: Matthew 9:33 Used With Tune: NETTLETON

When Jesus Came to Jordan
Author: Fred Pratt Green, 1903-2000 Meter: 7.6.7.6 D Appears in 21 hymnals Lyrics: 1 When Jesus came to Jordan
to be baptized by John,
he did not come for pardon
but as the sinless one.
He came to share repentance
with all who mourn their sins,
to speak the vital sentence
with which good news begins.
2 He came to share temptation,
our utmost woe and loss,
for us and our salvation
to die upon the cross.
So when the dove descended
on him, the Son of Man,
the hidden years had ended,
the age of grace began.
3 Come, Holy Spirit,
aid us to keep the vows we make;
this very day invade us,
and ev'ry bondage break.
Come, give our lives direction,
the gift we covet most:
to share the resurrection
that leds to Pentecost. Topics: Jesus Christ Baptism Scripture: John 14:25-27 Used With Tune: MUNICH

As Saints of Old Their First-fruits Brought
Author: Frank von Christierson, 1900-1996 Meter: 8.6.8.6 D Appears in 30 hymnals Lyrics: 1 As saints of old their firstfruits brought
of vineyard, flock, and field
to God, the giver of all good,
the source of bounteous yield;
so we today our firstfruits bring:
the wealth of this good land,
of farm and market, shop and home,
of mind and heart and hand.
2 A world in need now summons us
to labor, love, and give,
to make our life an offering
to God, that all may live.
The church of Christ is calling us
to make the dream come true:
a world redeemed, by Christ-like love,
all life in Christ made new.
3 With gratitude and humble trust
we bring our best to you,
not just to serve your cause,
but share your love with neighbors too.
O God, who gave yourself to us
in Jesus Christ your Son,
help us to give ourselves each day
until life's work is done.
