about
Described as, 'simple, direct and sincere' this 19th century carol by Christina Rosetti, is best kept ~ simple.
There's a tiny reference in the arrangement, to a contemporary song about 'obsessive love'. You can guess!
I'm dedicating this one to my niece Rachel Whitcroft, who walks down the aisle to it a few days before Christmas 2020.
'Love shall be our token..." can't think of a more fitting processional for a Christmas wedding.
Played on a Merida classical guitar, & D'Addario medium strings.
lyrics
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.
