Love Came Down at Christmas

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 shall be yours and love be mine,
Love to God and to all men,
Love for plea and gift and sign.

(Christina Rossetti 1830-1894)

I love the this poem (and the musical setting). I found both on u-tube. Sit back, turn your sound up and enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4o6gqwwhnU]this :) I think its so beautiful.

Blip and run, off to prepare for my service in an hour. I am using the words as my Call to Worship tonight, and will have the u-tube clip playing as people come in :)

In other news another star should shine brightly in the sky tonight. RIP Sir Patrick Moore here

Busy, busy, but after tonight I will be not quite so busy :):)

Hope you are all having a good weekend.
