Love Came Down At Christmas




Mary and Baby Jesus
Cicely Mary Barker
(1895-1973)




Love came down at Christmas,
Love all lovely, love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Stars 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 shall be yours, and love be mine,
Love to God and to all men,
Love for plea and gift and sign.




The Bread of Life
Cicely Mary Barker





"Love Came Down At Christmas"
Christina Rossetti
(1885)
