GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

Refrain:
    Go tell it on the mountain,
    Over the hills and everywhere,
    Go tell it on the mountain,
    Our Jesus Christ is born.

1. When I was a learner,
   I sought both night and day;
   I asked the Lord to help me,
   And he showed me the way.
2. While shepherds kept their watching
   O’er wand’ring flocks at night;
   Behold from out the heavens
   There came a holy light.
3. Lo, when they had seen it,
   They all bowed down and prayed;
   They travelled on together
   To where the babe was laid.
