Lyrics
The very first joy that Mary had, it was the joy of one
To see her blessed Jesus Christ when He was first her Son
When He was first her son, good man & blessed may he be
Both Father, Son and Holy Ghost through all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of two
To see her own son Jesus Christ, to make the lame to go.
To make the lame to go, good man, & blessed may he be
Both Father, Son and Holy Ghost through all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of three
To see her own son Jesus Christ, to make the blind to see.
To make the blind to see, good man & blessed may he be
Both Father, Son and Holy Ghost through all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy joy of four
To see her own son Jesus Christ, to read the Bible o'er.
To read the Bible o'er, good man & blessed may he be
Both Father, Son and Holy Ghost through all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy joy of five
To see her own son Jesus Christ, to bring the dead alive.
To bring the dead alive, good man & blessed may he be
Both Father, Son and Holy Ghost through all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy joy of six
To see her own son Jesus Christ, rise from the Crucifix.
Rise from the Crucifix, good man & blessed may he be
Both Father, Son and Holy Ghost through all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy joy of seven
To see her own son Jesus Christ,
to wear the crown of Heaven
To wear the crown of Heaven, good man
& blessed may he be
Both Father, Son and Holy Ghost through all eternity.
