Go Tell It on the Mountain

Go Tell It On The Mountain

SacredOrigin: American, a traditional African-American spiritual song dating to at least 1865First published 1909
1
[Chorus] Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere. Go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
2
While shepherds kept their watching over silent flocks by night, behold throughout the heavens, there shone a holy light.
3
The shepherds feared and trembled when lo! above the earth rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Saviour’s birth.
4
Down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born, and God sent us salvation, that blessed Christmas morn.
5
When I am a seeker, I seek both night and day. I seek the Lord to help me, and He shows me the way.
6
He made me a watchman upon the city wall, and if I am a Christian, I am the least of all.

Compiled By: John Wesley Work Jr,
