Text: | Love Came Down at Christmass |
Author: | Christina Rossetti |
Tune: | CULBACH |
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.
