131. 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 --
what shall be our sacred sign?
3 Love shall be our token;
love be yours and love be mine;
love to God and neighbour,
love for prayer and gift and sign.
