Go tell it on the mountain

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. Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born. The shepherds feared and trembled When lo! above the earth Rang out the angel chorus That hailed our Saviour's birth. Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born. Down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born; And God sent out salvation That blessed Christmas morn. Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born. When I was a seeker I sought both night and day I sought the Lord to help me And He showed me the way. Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born. He made me a watchman Upon the city wall And If I am a Christian I am the least of all.
