Baptist Hymnal 1991 ‎#95

95. Go, Tell It on the Mountain

Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born!

1. While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night,
Behold thro'-out the heavens
There shone a holy light. [Refrain]

2. The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth. [Refrain]

3. Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
that blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain]
