(Verse 1)
While shepherds kept their watching
O’er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.
Chorus
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere:
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born!
(Verse 2)
The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! Above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior’s birth.
(Verse 3)
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born,
And brought us God’s salvation
That blessed Christmas morn.
