Hymnal: The Oxford Book of Carols #3 (1928) First Line: As I sat on a sunny bank Lyrics: 1 As I sat on a sunny bank,
On Christmas Day in the morning,
2 I spied three ships come sailing by,
On Christmas Day in the morning.
3 And who should be with those three ships
But Joseph and his fair lady!
4 O he did whistle, and she did sing,
On Christmas Day in the morning.
5 And all the bells on earth did ring,
On Christmas Day in the morning,
6 For joy that our Saviour he was born
On Christmas Day in the morning.
