Our Great Redeemer's Praise ‎#181

181. 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,
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.
