Meter: IrregularAppears in 108 hymnalsScripture: Luke 2:8-17First Line: While shepherds kept their watchingLyrics: Refrain:
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. [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
our humble Christ was born,
and God sent us salvation
that blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain]
