The first good joy that Mary had,
It was the joy of one;
To see 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 her own Son Jesus Christ,
To make the lame to go.
To make the lame to go, 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 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;
Both Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.

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.
To read the Bible o'er, 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 five;
To see her own Son Jesus Christ,
To raise the dead to life.
To raise the dead to life, 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 six;
To see the blessed Jesus Christ
Upon the Crucifix.
Upon the Crucifix, 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 seven;
To see her own Son Jesus Christ
To wear the crown of Heav’n.
To wear the crown of Heav’n, good man;
And blessed may he be;
Both Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
To all eternity.
