Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

And what was in those ships all three

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?

And what was in those ships all three

On Christmas Day in the morning?

[Verse 3]

Our Saviour Christ and his lady

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

Our Saviour Christ and his lady

On Christmas Day in the morning.

[Verse 4]

Pray, whither sailed those ships all three

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day?

Pray, whither sailed those ships all three

On Christmas Day in the morning?

[Verse 5]

O they sailed into Bethlehem

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

O they sailed into Bethlehem

On Christmas Day in the morning

[Verse 6]

And all the bells on earth shall ring

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

And all the bells on earth shall ring

On Christmas Day in the morning.

[Verse 7]

And all the angels in heav'n shall sing

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

And all the angels in heav'n shall sing

On Christmas Day in the morning.

[Verse 8]

And all the souls on earth shall sing

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

And all the souls on earth shall sing

On Christmas Day in the morning

[Verse 9]

Then let us all rejoice, amain

On Christmas Day, on Christmas Day

Then let us all rejoice, amain

On Christmas Day

On Christmas Day

On Christmas Day in the morning
