The Seven Joys Of Mary Lyrics - Great Big Sea

(Traditional - Arr. GBS) 

The first good joy that Mary had 

It was the joy of one 

To see her own son Jesus Christ 

When He was first of son 

When He was first of son, good man 

And blessed may he be (Alan's part) 

CHORUS: 

Oh, oh, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost 

For all eternity 

Oh, oh, 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 

When he was to sent school 

When he was to sent school, good man 

And blessed may he be (Darrell's part) 

CHORUS 

The next good joy that 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 

And blessed may he be (San's part) 

CHORUS 

The next good joy that Mary had 

It was the joy of four 

To see her own son Jesus Christ 

To read the bible lore 

To read the bible lore, good man 

And blessed may he be (Bob's part) 

CHORUS 

(instrumental bit) 

The next good joy that 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 

And blessed may he be (All) 

CHORUS 

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 man 

And blessed may he be (San's part) 

CHORUS 

The last good joy that 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 

And blessed may he be (All)
