| 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 neighbour [all men],
Love for plea and gift and sign.
