I Saw Three Ships / Song Of The Ship
I saw three ships come sailing in
On Christmas day in the morning
There comes a ship a-sailing
With angels flying fast;
She bears a splendid cargo
And has a mighty mast
And what was in those ships all three
On Christmas day in the morning
The ship is fully laden
Right to her highest board;
She bears the Son of heaven
God's highest eternal word
Pray, whither sailed those ships all three?
On Christmas day in the morning
Upon the sea unruffled
The ship moves in to shore
To bring us all riches
She has within her store
O, they sailed on to Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning
And that ship's name is Mary
Of flowers the rose is she
And brings to us her baby
From sin to set us free
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day in the morning
