"Love came down at Christmas": A carol for solo treble and choir


This song was written in 1990 for Goring Church choir. It was first sung at the Goring Church Carol Concert, with Elizabeth singing the solo. The words are from Christina Rossetti's poem:

"Love came down at Christmas
Love all lovely. love devine.
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"

"Love came down manuscript"
