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. While shepherds kept their watching o’er silent flocks by night,
Behold, throughout the heavens There shone a holy light.
2. The shepherds feared and trembled When high above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Savior’s birth.
3. And lo, when they had heard it, They all bowed down and prayed;
They traveled on together To where the Babe was laid.
4. Down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation That blessed Christmas morn.
