The Seven Joys of Mary Lyrics

von Choir of King’s College, Cambridge

The first good joy our 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 our 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:

The next good joy our 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:

The next good joy our 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:

The next good joy our 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:

The next good joy our Mary had,
It was the joy of six;
To see her own son Jesus Christ
Upon the Crucifix.
Upon the crucifix, good man:

The next good joy our 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:
