The Seven Joys Of Mary

(álbum: Christmas Eve With Burl Ives - 1957)

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

The very next joy that Mary had
It was the joy of five
To see her own son Jesus
To bring the dead alive
To bring the dead alive

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 six
To see her own son Jesus
Rise from the Crucifix
Rise from the Crucifix

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 seven
To see her own son Jesus
To wear the crown of Heaven
To wear the crown of Heaven

Praise God in the wilderness
And glory be
Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
Through all eternity
