1. In the time of David,
some call him a king,
And if a child is true born
Lord Jesus will hear him sing:
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

2. When I was a seeker,
I sought both night and day,
I ask the Lord to help me,
And he show me the way:
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

3. 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,
That Jesus Christ is born.
