Go Tell It On The Mountain
Joyful Revelation: Jesus Christ's Birth Proclaimed
Lyrics
Grapes: Go tell it on the mountain,
Encouragement to spread a message
Over the hills and everywhere;
Spread the message widely
Go tell it on the mountain,
Reiteration of spreading the message
That Jesus Christ is born,
Announcement of Jesus Christ's birth
Pa: Now when I was a seeker,
Personal experience of seeking
I sought both night and day;
Continuous seeking effort
I asked the Lord to help me,
Seeking divine assistance
and he showed me the way.
Receiving guidance
Grapes: Go tell it on the mountain,
Reiteration of spreading the message
Over the hills and everywhere;
Encouragement to spread widely again
Go tell it on the mountain,
Reiteration of spreading the message
That Jesus Christ is Born.
Reaffirmation of Jesus Christ's birth
Pa: Oh...He made me a watchman,
Identification as a watchman
Upon the city wall;
Metaphorically watching over the city
And if I am a Christian,
Reflection on being Christian
I am the least of all.
Humility in Christian identity
Grapes: Go tell it on the mountain,
Reiteration of spreading the message
Over the hills and everywhere;
Encouragement to spread widely
Go tell it on the mountain,
Reiteration of spreading the message
That Jesus Christ is Born.
Reaffirmation of Jesus Christ's birth
(Repeat)
Repeat to reinforce the message
