Lyrics
(Chorus)
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
(1)
While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light
(2)
The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour's birth; Chorus:
(3)
When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
I sought the Lord to help me
And He showed me the way.
(Chorus)
(4)
He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall
And If I am a Christian
I am the least of all.
(Chorus)
