Go Tell It On The Mountain

Go Tell It On The Mountain

Hallelujah!

Go tell it on the mountain

Over the hills and everywhere

Go tell it on the mountain

Jesus christ is born

Down the lonely manger

The humble Christ was born

And God sent salvation

That blessed Christmas morn

(repeat chorus)

While shepherds kept their watch

O'er silent flocks by night

Behold throughout the heavens

There shown a holy light

(repeat chorus and 1st verse)

(repeat chorus)
