Go Tell It On The Mountain

Words: John W. Work, 1907; Tune: Go Tell It, Negro Spiritual

First Verse:

While shepherds kept their watching O’er silent flocks by night,

Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light.

Chorus:

Go, tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and ev’ry where;

Go, tell it on the mountain, That Jesus Christ is born!

Second Verse:

The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! above the earth

Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Savior’s birth

Chorus:

Go, tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and ev’ry where;

Go, tell it on the mountain, That Jesus Christ is born!

Third Verse:

Down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born,

And God sent us salvation That blessed Christmas morn.

Chorus:

Go, tell it on the mountain, Over the hills and ev’ry where;

Go, tell it on the mountain, That Jesus Christ is born!
