Let's go and tell it on the mountains,
Let's go and tell it on the mountains,
Let's go and tell it on the mountains,
Jesus setta me free.
It's come on everybody in the marvelous light
Jesus setta me free
Where the yoke is easy and the burden is light
Jesus setta me free.
O let's go and tell it on the mountains
Let's go and tell it on the mountains,
Let's go and tell it on the mountains,
Jesus setta me free.
