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
Both Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Through all eternity.
The next good joy that Mary had,
It was the joy of two
To see her own son Jesus Christ
To make the lame to go:
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:
The next good joy that Mary had,
It was the joy of four
To see her own son Jesus Christ
To read the bible o'er:
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:
The next good joy that Mary had,
It was the joy of six
To see her own son Jesus Christ
Upon the crucifix:
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:
