”Go, Tell It on the Mountain”
Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere;
go, tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born.
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.
o’er silent flocks by night,
behold, throughout the heavens
there shone a holy light.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere;
go, tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born.
over the hills and everywhere;
go, tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born.
The shepherds feared and trembled
when lo! above the earth
rang out the angel chorus
that hailed our Savior‘s birth.
when lo! above the earth
rang out the angel chorus
that hailed our Savior‘s birth.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere;
go, tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born.
over the hills and everywhere;
go, tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born.
Down in a lowly stable
the humble Christ was born,
and God sent us salvation
that blessed Christmas morn.
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.
over the hills and everywhere;
go, tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is born.
