Verse 1

I will get me to the mountain, Where the sweetest spices grow; I will rest beside the fountain, With the heav’nly light aglow.

Till the daybreak, till the daybreak, And the shadows flee away; I will get me to the mountain, I will rest beside the fountain, Till the daybreak, till the daybreak, And the shadows flee away.

I will get me to the mountain, Where my Savior died for me; In the depth of Calv’ry’s fountain, Finding peace and purity.

Chorus

Till the daybreak, till the daybreak, And the shadows flee away; I will get me to the mountain, I will rest beside the fountain, Till the daybreak, till the daybreak, And the shadows flee away.

Verse 3

I will get me to the mountain, To the mountaintop of prayer; By the ever-flowing fountain, I will meet my Savior there.

Chorus

Till the daybreak, till the daybreak, And the shadows flee away; I will get me to the mountain, I will rest beside the fountain, Till the daybreak, till the daybreak, And the shadows flee away.
