Go tell it 🔊

Autumn

Go tell it on the mountain

Afroamerikanisches Spiritual - Weihnachtslied
Melodie um 1865, Textfassung von John Wesley Work Jr. um 1880
---------------
Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

1. While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.

2. The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour's birth.

3. Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born;
And God sent out salvation
That blessed Christmas morn.

4. When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
I sought the Lord to help me
And He showed me the way.

5. He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall
And If I am a Christian
I am the least of all.
