The First good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of one
To the blessed Jesus Christ
When he was first her son.
When he was first her son, good man
And blessed may he be
Both Father, Son and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of two
To see the blessed Jesus Christ
To make the lame to go.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of three
To see the blessed Jesus Christ
To make the blind to see.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of four
To see the blessed Jesus Christ
To Read the bible o’er.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of five
To see the blessed Jesus Christ
To bring the dead alive.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of six
To see the blessed Jesus Christ
Upon the crucifix.
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of seven
To see the blessed Jesus Christ
To wear the crown of heav’n.
