I saw three ships
( Pray, whither sailed those ships ; O, they sailed in to Bethlehem ; And who should be in those ships ; And he did whistle ; And all the bells on earth shall ring ; And all the angels in heav'n shall sing ; Then let us all rejoice amain )
... for Sir David Willcocks and the Bach Choir ...
