Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
When I was a seeker
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,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
He made me a watchman
Upon a city wall,
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least of all.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born.
Putting together the book was not an easy task for Work as all these songs are not written down, but are passed down through oral tradition.
This song grew in popularity in the mid-20th century, when jazz, blues and early rock’n roll became popular. The simplicity and style of this song fit in well with these music styles.
