It was on Christmas Day
And all in the morning,
Our Saviour was born,
And our Heav'nly King;
"And was not this a joyful thing,
And sweet Jesus they call Him by name."

And all in the morning,
They circumsised our Saviour

And sweet Jesus they call Him by name."

And all in the morning,

And sweet Jesus they call Him by name."

And all in the morning,

And all in the morning,

And all in the morning
That Judas betrayed
Our dear Heavenly King;

And sweet Jesus we'll call Him by name."

And all in the morning,
They plaited a crown of thorns,
For our Heavenly King;

And sweet Jesus we'll call Him by name."

And all in the morning,

"And was not this a woeful thing
And sweet Jesus we'll call Him by name."

It was on Easter Day
And all in the morning
Our Saviour arose,
Our own Heavenly King;
"They did both rise with Him,
And sweet Jesus we'll call Him by name."
