Zion still Sings ‎#59

59. Go, Tell It on the Mountain

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

1 Oh, when I was a seeker,
I sought both night and day.
I asked the Lord to help me,
and he showed me the way. [Refrain]

2 While shepherds kept their watching
o'er silent flocks by night,
behold throughout the heavens
there shone a holy light. [Refrain]

3 The shepherds feared and trembled,
when lo! above the earth,
rang out the angel chorus
that hailed the Savior's birth. [Refrain]

4 Down in a lowly manger
the humble Christ was born,
and God sent us salvation
that blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain]
