Author: Frederick J. Work (1880-1942) Hymnal: More Hymns and Spiritual Songs #54 (1971) First Line: When I was a sinner Lyrics: 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]
