When I was a seeker,
I sought both night and day.
I asked the Lord to help me
And He shows me the way

Chorus:

Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'ry where.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Our heav'nly Lord is born.

He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall.
And if I serve Him truly,
I am the least of all

In the time of David,
Some said he was a king.
And if a child is true born,
The Lord will hear him sing.
