The seven joys of Mary |
The very first joy that Mary had
It was the joy of one
To see her blessed Jesus
When he was first her Son
When he was first her Son.
Chorus:
When he was her first Son, Good Lord
And happy may we be
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of two
To see her own son Jesus
To make the lame to go
To make the lame to go.
Chorus:
To make the lame to go, Good Lord
And happy may we be
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of three
To see her own son Jesus
To make the blind to see
To make the blind to see.
Chorus:
To make the blind to see, Good Lord
And happy may we be
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of four
To see her own son Jesus

To all eternity.
