182. Go, Tell It on the Mountain

Chorus:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

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

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

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