The Seven Joys of Mary (2)

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.

cho: Praise God in the wilderness, and glory by
Father, Son and the Holy Ghost through 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.

....joy of three
To make the blind to see.

....joy of four
To read the Bible o'er.

....joy of five
To bring the dead alive.

....joy of six
Rise from the Crucifix.

....joy of seven
To wear the crown of Heaven
