I Saw Three Ships

 

"And suddenly, there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host,
  praising God, and saying, "Glory to God in the highest,
and on earth, peace, good will towards men."
(Luke 2:13-14)

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.

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.

Oh, they sailed into Bethlehem,

On Christmas day, on Christmas day;

Oh, they sailed to Bethlehem,

On Christmas day, in the morning.

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.

And all the angels in heaven shall sing,

On Christmas day, on Christmas day;

And all the angels in heaven shall sing,

On Christmas day, in the morning.

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.
