Hymn from Global Canticle
No. 8 (Sec 20): The Dawn Shall Break
Seasonal Use: Christmas (Advent)
Meter: 8.7.8.7 D
Tune: Morning Song
Key: F Major
1.
The dawn shall break, the night is ending,
Shadows flee before the light;
Heaven’s gift to earth descending,
Christ is born to set things right.
Every tear shall find its healing,
Every heart its song restored;
Advent hope, with joy revealing,
Peace eternal from the Lord.
2.
The dawn shall break, the world rejoices,
Trumpets sound and angels sing;
Lift your hearts, lift up your voices,
Welcome Christ, the promised King.
From the manger to the glory,
From the cradle to the throne—
Advent tells the gospel story:
God has come to claim His own.
Chorus:
Come, Lord Jesus, shine upon us,
Light of heaven, dawn of grace;
Fill the earth with peace and justice,
Show your glory, face to face.
3.
Hallelujah! Dawn is breaking,
Morning shines, the night is gone;
Christ has come, His light awaking—
Reigns in glory, sure and strong.
Yet we wait the full revealing,
When His kingdom shall appear;
Faith and hope their joy concealing,
Love perfected, drawing near.
4.
Watchman, tell us of the ending,
When the trumpet sounds the call;
Christ shall come, His kingdom sending
Peace and justice over all.
Alleluia! Hope eternal,
Night is past, the day begun;
Glory shines, Emmanuel reigning—
Christ forever, Heaven’s Son.

Stanza 1 —
The Word Made Flesh:
O Eternal Word, You stepped into time,
Clothed in frailty yet crowned with glory.
Heaven bent low to kiss the earth,
And the manger became a throne of mercy.
Stanza 2 —
The Light That Shines:
No darkness could comprehend You,
No shadow could silence Your flame.
You are the dawn that breaks every night,
The brilliance that guides our wandering steps.
Stanza 3 —
The Child of Promise:
Born of a virgin, wrapped in swaddling cloth! You fulfilled every whispered prophecy.
The cries of a newborn King
Echoed the eternal song of salvation.
Stanza 4 —
The Gift of Presence:
Not distant, not abstract, not unreachable —
You dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.
Your presence sanctifies our ordinary days,
And Your love transforms our fragile hearts.
Stanza 5 —
The Shepherd’s Joy:
Angels sang, shepherds ran,
The heavens declared peace on earth.
The humble were the first to see,
That glory had come wrapped in simplicity.
Stanza 6 —
The King’s Humility:
No palace, no crown, no armies —
Only straw, silence, and stars.
Yet in that humility,
The universe found its Redeemer.
Stanza 7 —
The Christ Who Reigns:
From manger to cross, from grave to throne,
You reign forever, Emmanuel.
Christmas is not a memory —
It is the eternal declaration: God is with us.

Scripture Reading
"I've told you all this so that trusting me, you will be unshakable and assured, deeply at peace. In this godless world you will continue to experience difficulties. But take heart! I've conquered the world."
— John 16:33 (MSB).
♀️Storytelling
A family gathered around a small table on Christmas morning. No lavish feast, no glittering gifts — only bread, fruit, and laughter. The youngest child whispered, “This feels like Jesus is here.”
And he was right. Christ’s presence is not measured by abundance of things, but by abundance of love. Christmas reminds us that God’s greatest gift was Himself.
