- (continued from previous page)(1) The first great joy Our Lady had.
It was the joy of One.
It was the joy of her own dear
Son when he became a man.Chorus.
The rising of the sun,
the going down of the day,
will all content and sweetly,
sing and play in the heavens all day.
(2) The second great joy our Lay had.
It was the joy of two.
It was the joy of her own dear Son.
when he knew what to do.
Chorus.
The rising of the sun,
the going down of the day,
will all content and sweetly,
sing and play in the heavens all day.
(3) The third great joy Our Lady had.
It was the joy of three
It was the joy of her own dear Son
when he rose the blind to see.
Chorus.
The rising of the sun,
the going down of the day,
will all content and sweetly,
sing and play in the heavens all day.
