about

Trad/Arr. Kate Rusby

lyrics

The first good joy that Mary had it was the joy of one
To see her own son Jesus Christ when he had first begun
When he had first begun good lord and blessed may he be
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity

The next good joy that Mary had it was the joy of two
To see her own son Jesus Christ, smiling first anew
Smiling first anew good lord and blessed may he be
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity

The next good joy that Mary had it was the joy of three.
To see her own son Jesus Christ making the blind to see
Making the blind to see, good lord and blessed may he be
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity

The next good joy that Mary had it was the joy of four.
To see her own son Jesus Christ reading the Bible o'er
Reading the Bible o'er good lord and blessed may he be
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity

The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of five
To see her own son Jesus Christ bringing the dead alive
Bringing the dead alive good lord and blessed may he be
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity

The next good joy that Mary had, it was the joy of six
To see her own son Jesus Christ upon the crucifix
Upon the crucifix good lord and blessed may he be
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity

The last good joy that Mary had it was the joy of seven
To see her own son Jesus Christ ascending into Heaven
Ascending into Heaven good lord and blessed may he be
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost for all eternity
