LOVE CAME DOWN at Christmas time,
Love all lovely, love divine,
Star and angels gave the sign;
Love came down for us.
Born into a time of war,
Choosing to be with the poor,
A Saviour on a bed of straw;
Love came down for us.
Glory in the highest,
Hear the angels sing,
Peace on earth to all mankind
On whom His favour rests.
Clothed in frail humanity,
To the world that we might see
The greatest gift in history,
Love came down for us.;
To a world that He had made,
Scorned by those He died to save,
Now the name above all names,
Love came down for us.;
In the darkness light still shines,
Bringing hope to all mankind,
Love be yours and love be mine,
Love came down for us.
