As I sat on a sunny bank

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 3 hymnals Hymnal Title: The Hymnal for Boys and Girls Lyrics: 1 As I sat on a sunny bank, On Christmas Day in the morning, I spied three ships come sailing by, On Christmas Day in the morning. 2 And who should be with those three ships But Joseph and his fair lady! O he did whistle, and she did sing, On Christmas Day in the morning. 3 And all the bells on earth did ring, On Christmas Day in the morning, For joy that our Saviour he was born On Christmas Day in the morning.

Hymnal Title: Carols of Christmas Author of "I Saw Three Ships" in Carols of Christmas In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
