Love Came Down At Christmas : Lyrics
1. Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas;
Star and angels gave the sign.
2. Worship we the Godhead,
Love incarnate, Love divine;
Worship we our Jesus,
But wherewith for sacred sign?
3. Love shall be our token;
Love be yours and love be mine;
Love to God and others,
Love for plea and gift and sign.
