| A sailing on the sea | B |
| The first her masts were silver | C |
| Her hull was ivory | B |
| The snows came drifting softly | B |
| And lined her white as wool | D |
| Oh Jesus Son of Mary | B |
| Thy Cradle beautiful | E |

| I saw three ships a sailing | A |
| The next was red as blood | F |
| Her decks shone like a ruby | B |
| Encrimsoned all her wood | G |
| Her main mast stood up lonely | B |
| A lonely Cross and stark | H |
| Oh Jesus Son of Mary | B |
| Bring all men to that ark | H |

| I saw three ships a sailing | A |
| The third for cargo bore | I |
| The souls of men redeemed | J |
| That shall be slaves no more | I |
| The lost beloved faces | K |
| I saw them glad and free | B |
| Oh Jesus Son of Mary | B |
| When wilt thou come for me | B |
