1.
Light has come to pierce the darkness,
Born to us, the Prince of Peace;
Heaven’s joy now wrapped in weakness,
Hope begins and fears must cease.
Angels sing and shepherds gather,
Stars align to show the way;
God with us, no longer distant—
Love has entered flesh and clay.
2.
Light has come, the world rejoices,
Every heart prepared to sing;
Let the nations lift their voices
To the newborn, risen King.
From the manger to the mountain,
From the cradle to the tree—
Light has come, and death is broken,
Christ has won the victory.
3.
Light has come into my story,
Breaking chains I could not see;
Now I walk in grace and glory—
Christ alive inside of me.

Beloved Family of Light,
This Advent season we journey together through the Milk Scroll Edition — a gift for both young hearts and grown ones (November 30th 2025).
For Adults: These lanterns remind us to anchor our faith in Christ, carrying Peace, Hope, Joy, and Love into our homes, workplaces, and communities. Advent is not just waiting; it is preparing our hearts to welcome the Light of the world.
For Kids: Each story and song is a lantern of learning. Through dancing, singing, and storytelling, children discover that Jesus is the true Light who shines in every season.
Together, let us lift our lanterns high. May families sing, may children laugh, and may believers everywhere be strengthened by the promise:
“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light.” (Isaiah 9:2).
