655. Love came down at Christmas

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 all men,
Love for plea and gift and sign.
