Christmas Day in the Morning — Lyrics
1. As I sat under a sycamore tree,
I looked me out upon the sea,
A Christmas day in the morning.
2. I saw three ships asailing there,
The Virgin Mary and Christ they bear,
A Christmas day in the morning.

About Christmas Day in the Morning
This arrangement of the traditional carol "Christmas Day in the Morning" is for SATB choir singing in English. The text conjures a serene Christmas morning scene, beginning with a vision of the sea and a sycamore tree, before describing the iconic image of three ships carrying Mary and the Christ child. The carol progresses to a joyous ringing of bells and concludes with warm wishes for cheer and a Happy New Year. Its evocative imagery and hopeful message make it a fitting choice for seasonal concerts and services, celebrating the spirit of Christmas.
