    An old prayer and song
    The very first joy our Lady had it was the joy of one, it was the joy of her own dear Son when He was born man.
    The very next joy our Lady had,
    it was the joy of two
    It was the joy of her own dear Son
    when He taught us what to do.
    The very next joy our Lady had
    it was the joy of three
    It was the joy of her own dear Son
    when He made the blind to see.
    The very next joy our Lady had
    it was the joy of four,
    It was the joy of her own dear Son,
    when he begged from door to door.
    The very next joy our Lady had it was the joy of five, It was the joy of her own dear Son when He raised the dead to life.
    The very next joy our Lady had
    it was the joy of six, It was the
    joy of her own dear Son when he
    cured the sore and sick.
