1
Love came down at Christmas, 
love all lovely, love divine. 
Love was born at Christmas - 
star and angels gave the sign. 

                    Refrain:
                            Sing noel, sing noel, sing noel.

2
Worship we the Godhead, 
love incarnate, love divine. 
Worship we our Jesus - 
what shall be our sacred sign? 

                    Refrain:
                            Sing noel, sing noel, sing noel.

3
Love shall be our token, 
love be yours and love be mine, 
love to God and neighbor, 
love for prayer and gift and sign.

                    Refrain:
                            Sing noel, sing noel, sing noel.
