It was on christmas day
And all in the morning
That our saviour was born, our heavenly king
And was not this a joyful a thing
And sweet Jesus they call him by name
It was on the twelfth day
And all in the morning
That the wise men were led to our heavenly king
And was not this a joyful a thing
And sweet Jesus they call him by name
It was on holy wednesday
And all in the morning
That judas betrayed our dear heavenly king
And was not this a woeful a thing
And sweet Jesus they call him by name
It was on good friday
And all in the morning
That they crucified our saviour and our heavenly king
And was not this a woeful a thing
And sweet Jesus they call him by name
It was on easter day
And all in the morning
That our saviour arose, and our heavenly king
The sun and the moon, they did both rise with him
And was not this a joyful a thing
And sweet Jesus they call him by name
