I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning
And what was in those ships all three? ...
Our Saviour Christ and his lady...
Wither sailed those ships all three? ...
O they sailed into Bethlehem...
And all the bells on earth shall ring...
And angels in all heaven shall sing...
And all the souls on earth shall sing...
Then let us all rejoice amain! ...
