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 o’er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens there shone a holy light.
The shepherds heard 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 brought us God’s salvation that blessed Christmas morn.
