The Seven Rejoices of Mary - Loreena McKennitt

The first good joy that Mary had

It was the joy of one

The first rejoice that Mary had

Was to see her new born son

To see her new born son good man

And blessed may he be

Sing Father, Son and Holy Ghost

To all eternity

The next good joy that Mary had

It was the joy of two

To see her son Jesus

Make the lame to go

The next rejoice that Mary had

It was the joy of three

To see her own son Jesus

To make the blind to see

To make the blind to see good man

And blessed may he be

Sing Father, Son and Holy Ghost

To all eternity

The next good joy our lady had

It was the joy of four

It was the rejoice of her dear son

When he read the bible o’er

The next good joy that Mary had

It was the joy of five

To see her own son Jesus

To make the dead alive

To make the dead alive good man

And blessed may he be

Sing Father, Son and Holy Ghost

To all eternity

The next rejoice our lady had

It was the rejoice of six

To see her own son Jesus

To bear the crucifix

The next good joy that Mary had

It was the joy of seven

To see her own son Jesus

To wear the crown of heaven

To wear the crown of heaven good man

And blessed may he be

Sing Father, Son and Holy Ghost

To all eternity

And glory may he be

And blessed now be she

And those who sing the seven long verses

In honour of our lady
