Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, Love Divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.
Worship we the Godhead,
Love Incarnate, Love Divine;
Worship we our Jesus:
But wherewith for sacred sign?
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

Christina Georgina Rossetti was a Victorian English poet celebrated for her devotional verse, lyric intensity, and enduring contribution to Christmas literature. "Love Came Down at Christmas" was first published in 1885 in her collection Time Flies: A Reading Diary, originally written as a hymn text and later set to music by several composers.
