Go, tell it on the

mountain

over the hills and everywhere;

go, tell it on the mountain

that Jesus Christ is born.


While shepherds kept their watching

o’er silent flocks by night,

behold, throughout the heavens

there shone a holy light.

The shepherds feared and trembled

when lo! above the earth

rang out the angel chorus

that hailed our Saviour’s birth!

Down in a lonely manger

the humble Christ was born,

and God sent our salvation

that blessed Christmas morn.
