1 Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Stars 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.
Amen.
