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?
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And what was in those ships all three?
On Christmas day in the morning

The first was full of refugees
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Who from their homes they'd had to flee
On Christmas day in the morning

The next had goods in high demand
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Guns & drugs and contraband
On Christmas day in the morning

The third gave off a sickly stench
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Of want & fear and pestilence
On Christmas day in the morning

And wither sailed those ships all three?
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And wither 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 into Bethlehem
On Christmas day in the morning

And who was there to meet those ships?
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And who was there to greet those ships?
On Christmas day in the morning

Joseph and his lady fair
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
They stood on the harbour there
On Christmas day in the morning

From Galilee they'd brought a babe
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And him they'd in a manger laid
On Christmas day in the morning

Then all the people gathered round
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And offered him a golden crown
On Christmas day in the morning

Oh take away your golden crown
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
For alms & zakat melt it down
On Christmas day in the morning

And bring to me your blind and lame
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
All those who grieve or are in pain
On Christmas day in the morning

For I have come to help them see
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And from their chains to set them free
On Christmas day in the morning

Then all the people cried for joy
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And honoured Mary's baby boy
On Christmas day in the morning

Then all the bells on earth did ring
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Then all the bells on earth did ring
On Christmas day in the morning

And all the angels in heaven did sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the angels in heaven did sing
On Christmas day in the morning

For Love is come to be our King
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
For love is come to be our King
On Christmas day in the morning

He'll feed the sick and heal the lame
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And bring us to our home again
On Christmas day in the morning
