The Seven Joys of Mary - Burl Ives

The very first joy that Mary had

It was the joy of one

To see her blessed Jesus

When He was first her Son

Praise God in the wilderness

And glory be

Father, Son and the Holy Ghost

Through all eternity

The very next blessing that Mary had

It was the blessing of two

To see her own son Jesus

To make the lame to go

Praise God in the wilderness

And glory be

Father, Son and the Holy Ghost

Through all eternity

The very next blessing that Mary had

It was the blessing of three

To see her own son Jesus

To make the blind to see
