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, throughout 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 the 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] Topics: The Celebration of the Gospel Story Christmas; Christian Year Christmas; Spirituals Scripture: Luke 2:6-18 Languages: English Tune Title: GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
