Burl Ives - The Seven Joys of Mary - Part 1 lyrics

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
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

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

To make the blind to see
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 four
To see her own son, Jesus
To read the Bible o'er

To read the Bible o'er
Praise God in the wilderness and glory be
Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
Through all eternity
