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

“Love Came Down at Christmas” by Christina G. Rossetti, United Methodist Hymnal 242

Throughout Advent we anticipate the glorious birth of Christ, the foretold event that would change the world.

Love came down at Christmas and, indeed, God is with us, a gift for us to experience each and every day.
