42. Down to Earth, as a Dove
1 Down to earth, as a dove,
came to light holy love;
Jesus Christ from above
bringing great salvation
meant for every nation.
[Refrain:]
Let us sing, sing, sing,
dance and spring, spring, spring.
Christ is here, ever near!
Gloria in excelsis.
2 This is love come to light,
now is fear put to flight.
God defeats darkest night,
giving for our sorrows
hope of new tomorrows. [Refrain]
3 Christ the Lord comes to feed
hungry souls in their need;
in the house there is bread:
Jesus in a stable,
in the church a table. [Refrain]
