Go Tell It On De Mountains, Traditional Spiritual
When I was a learner,
I sought both night and day,
I ask the Lord to help me,
An' He show me the way.
Go tell it on de mountains;
Over de hills an' ev'rywhere:
Go tell it on de mountains,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherd kept their watching;
O'er wand'ring flock by night;
Behold! From out the heavens,
There shone a holy light.
Go tell it on de mountains;
Over de hills an' ev'rywhere:
Go tell it on de mountains,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
He made me a watchman;
Upon the city wall,
An' if I am a Christian;
I am the least of all.
Go tell it on de mountains;
Over de hills an' ev'rywhere:
Go tell it on de mountains,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
And lo! When they had seen it,
They all bowed down and prayed;
Then travel'd on together,
To where the Babe was laid;
Go tell it on de mountains;
Over de hills an' ev'rywhere:
Go tell it on de mountains,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
