Go, Tell It On The Mountain (John W. Work Jr.)

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.
