The Dawn of Grace is a Christmas album by the alternative rock and indie pop band Sixpence None the Richer. The record was released on October 14, 2008.

Background
The Dawn of Grace was produced by Steve Hindalong and consists of eight traditional Christmas songs, including "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "Silent Night", featuring guest vocalist Dan Haseltine of Jars of Clay, and two original Sixpence Christmas tunes called "The Last Christmas" and "Christmas for Two". The subtitle on the cover reads: A Collection of Original and Traditional Christmas Songs. Although no singles were released from the album, two animated music videos were released for "Angels We Have Heard on High" and "Silent Night".
