Seven joys of Mary

The first good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of one;
To see her dear son Jesus Christ when he was first her son.
When he was first her son, good man, and happy may we be;
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost through all eternity!

The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of two;
To see her dear son Jesus Christ to make the lame to go.
To make the lame to go, good man, and happy may we be;
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost through all eternity!

The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of three;
To see her dear son Jesus Christ to make the blind to see.
To make the blind to see...

The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of four;
To see her dear son Jesus Christ to read the Bible o'er.
To read the Bible o'er...

The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of five;
To see her dear son Jesus Christ to raise the dead alive.
To raise the dead alive...

The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of six;
To see her dear son Jesus Christ upon the crucifix.
Upon the crucifix...

The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of seven;
To see her dear son Jesus Christ to wear the crown of heaven.
To wear the crown of heaven...
