A Gift of Words

Merry Christmas from the CCFW

We think one of the best gifts is words—so we send you these, from all of us at the CCFW, with our own love and every blessing for the season.

 

Christmastide
Christina Rossetti

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.
