Heather Dale - I Saw Three Ships/Song of the Ship lyrics

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.
