The Seven Joys of Mary



The first good joy that Mary had,

It was the joy of one,

To see her ownsome Jesus

To suck at her breast-bone.

To suck at her breast-bone, good man,

And happy may you be,

O Father, Son and Holy Ghost,

And all eternity.



The seeond joy that Mary had,

It was the joy of two,

To see her ownsome jesus

To make the lame to go.



The third joy that Mary had,

It was the joy of three,

To see her ownsome Jesus

As made the blind to see.



The next good joy that Mary had,

It was the joy of five,

To see her ownsome Jesus

As raised the dead to life.



The next good joy that Mary had,

It was the joy of six,

To see her ownsome Jesus

To bear the crucifix.



The next good joy that Mary had,

It was the joy of seven,

To see her ownsome Jesus

To wear the crown of Heaven.



The next good joy that Mary had,

It was the joy of ten,

To see her ownsome Jesus

To write with a golden pen.

To write with a golden pen, good man,

And happy may you be,

O Father, Son and Holy Ghost,

And all eternity.
