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