Go Tell It On The Mountain

[Refrain:]

Go, tell it on the mountain,

Over the hills and everywhere

Go, tell it on the mountain,

That Jesus Christ is born.

While shepherds kept their watching

Over silent flocks by night

Behold throughout the heavens

There shone a holy light.

[Refrain]

The shepherds feared and trembled,

When lo! above the earth,

Rang out the angels chorus

That hailed the Savior's birth.

[Refrain]

Down in a lowly manger

The humble Christ was born

And God sent us salvation

That blessed Christmas morn.

[Refrain]
