Find hymn on ONE LICENSE

Refrain:
Go tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and ev’rywhere;
Go tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born.

1 When I was a sinner,
I prayed both night and day;
I asked the Lord to help me,
And he showed me the way.

2 When I was a seeker,
I sought both night and day;
I asked my Lord to help me,
And he taught me the way. [Refrain]

3 He made me a watchman
upon the city wall,
And If I am a Christian,
I am the least of all. [Refrain]
