::::''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.
