Go tell it on the mountain

 

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is aborn.

 

In the time of David

Some called him a King

if a child is true born

Lord Jesus will hear him sing

 

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is aborn.

 

When I was a sinner,

I sought both night and day.

I asked the Lord to help me

and He showed me the way.

 

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is aborn.

 

He made me a watchman

Upon a city wall,

And if I am a good told,

I am the least of all.

 

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

That Jesus Christ is aborn.
