Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
The shepherds kept their watching,
O'er silent flocks by night,
When lo! through-out the heavens,
There shone a holy light.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
The shepherds feared and trembled,
When high above the earth,
Rang out an angel chorus,
To hail our Saviour's birth.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
And lo! When they had heard it,
They all bowed down to pray,
Then travelled on together,
To where the Baby lay.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
Down in a lowly manger,
The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation,
That blessed Christmas morn.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
I too am like a shepherd,
My flock of days to guard,
Each day finds time for praying,
From this I won't retard.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
