Love Came Down at Christmas

Love came down at Christmas,

Love all lovely, Love divine;

Love was born at Christmas;

star and angels gave the sign.

Worship we the God-head,

Love incarnate, Love divine;

worship we our Jesus,

but wherewith for sacred sign?

Love shall be our token;

love be yours and love be mine;

love to God and others,

love for plea and gift and sign.

- Christina Rossetti, 1885
