- 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 shall be yours and love be mine,
- Love to God and to all men,
- Love for plea and gift and sign.
