Go Tell It On The Mountain
Seabird Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Over the hills and everywhere,
Tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day,
I asked the Lord to help me,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
He made me a watchman
Upon that city wall,
And if I am a Christian,
I am the least, the least of all.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
Go tell it on the mountain, yeah
Over the hills and everywhere,
Tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
Oh ayy
Ohhhhoooo
Go tell it on the mountain,
Ohhhhoooo
Tell it on the mountain,
Ohhhhoooo
Go tell it on the mountain,
Ohhhhoooo
Tell it on the mountain,
Ohhhhoooo
Go tell it on the mountain,
Ohhhhoooo
Tell it on the mountain.
