Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus christ is born

While shepards kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behond, throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

The shepards feared and trembled
When lo, above the earth
Rang out the angel 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 lonely manger
The humble christ was born
And God sent our 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
