Author: John W. Work Hymnal: Zion still Sings #59 (2007) Meter: Irregular with refrain First Line: Oh, when I was a seeker Lyrics: 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] Topics: Jesus Christ His Birth; Christmas; Jesus Christ Savior; Salvation; Spirituals; Testimony, Witness, and Evangelism Languages: English Tune Title: GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
