chorus
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
verse 1
While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light
verse 2
The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth
verse 3
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 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

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
