Seven Joys of Mary lyrics
by Rufus Wainwright
The very first joy that Mary had
It was the joy of one
To see her blessed Jesus
When He was first her Son
When He was first her Son
When He was Her first Son, Good Lord;
And happy may we be
Praise 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
To make the lame to go
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
To make the blind to see
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
To read the Bible o'er
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
To bring the dead alive
To bring the dead alive
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of six
To see her own son Jesus
Upon the Crucifix
Upon the Crucifix
The next good joy that Mary had
It was the joy of seven
To see her own son Jesus
To wear the crown of Heaven
To wear the crown of Heaven
