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.
