Sever Joys Of Mary
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The first good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of one.
To see her own son, Jesus Christ, when he was first her son.
When he was first her son, good man, and blessed may he be.
Oh Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity (x2)
The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of two.
To see her own son, Jesus Christ, when he was sent to school.
When he was sent to school, good man, and blessed may he be.
Oh Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity (x2)
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, and blessed may he be.
Oh Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity (x2)
The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of four.
To see her own son, Jesus Christ, to read the Bibleore.
To read the Bibleore, good man, and blessed may he be.
Oh Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity (x2)
The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of five
To see her own son, Jesus Christ, to bring the dead alive.
To bring the dead alive, good man, and blessed may he be.
Oh Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity (x2)
The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of six
To see her own son, Jesus Christ, upon the crucifix.
Upon the crucifix, good man, and blessed may he be.
Oh Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity (x2)
The last good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of seven
To see her own son, Jesus Christ, to wear the crown of Heaven.
To wear the crown of Heaven, good man, and blessed may he be.
Oh Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity (x3)
