Text:

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.

O they sailed into Bethlehem on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

O they sailed into Bethlehem, on Christmas Day in the morning.

Then why should we on earth be sad, since our Redeemer made us glad?

When sin departs before His grace, then life and health come in its place.

And all the bells on Earth shall ring, on Christmas Day, on Christmas Day;

And all the angels in Heaven shall sing, on Christmas Day in the morning.

Angels and men with joy shall sing, all for to see the newborn King.

I saw three ships come sailing in.

I saw three ships come sailling in.

All out of darkness we have light, which made the angels sing this night.
