This famous Christmas Carol's earliest known publishing was the 17th Century, but the author is unknown. Of the meanings found listed on Internet sites, this one is the description that seems most likely to us (found on Wikipedia and other sites): Camels are often called "Ships of the Desert". The reference to the three ships may be the Three Wise Men , Kings, or Magi that traveled to Bethlehem to see the baby Jesus. Tomorrow's post will be on Matthew 2:1-12 The Magi, the only one of the four Gospels of Jesus that mentions them.
I Saw Three Ships
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
Our Savior, Christ, and His Lady
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Our Savior, Christ, and His Lady
On Christmas day in the morning
Pray, whither sailed those ships all three?
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Pray, whither sailed those ships all three?
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
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the bells on earth shall ring
On Christmas day in the morning
And all the angels in heaven shall sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the angels in heaven shall sing
On Christmas day in the morning
And all the souls on earth shall sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
And all the souls on earth shall sing
On Christmas day in the morning
Then let us all rejoice and sing
On Christmas day, on Christmas day
Then let us all rejoice and sing
On Christmas day in the morning
Closer 2 Jesus
