about

An informal greeting dance containing wonderful and warm Christmas qualities. The words are a poem by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), an Italian feminist who lived her last years in London, writing and doing good works. This carol is found in many hymnal collections.

lyrics

Verse 1
Love came down at Christmas
Love all lovely, Love divine;
Love was born at Christmas,
Star and angels gave the sign.

Verse 2
Love shall be our token,
Love be yours and love be mine,
Love to God and everyone
Love for plea and gift and sign.
