Go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Hey go, tell it on that mountain
Jesus Christ is born.

Go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I say go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.

Go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go, tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

Down in that lonely manger
The humble Christ was born
God sent to us salvation
Born that Christmas morn.

Hey go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go, tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

I said go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go, tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
That Jesus Christ is born.

I say go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhereIt was not a silent night, there was blood on the ground
You could hear a woman cry in the alleyway that night on the streets of David's town
And the stable was not clean and the cobblestones were cold
And little Mary full of grace with tears upon her face had no mother's hand to hold

It was a labor of pain, it was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark with every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love

Noble Joseph by her side, callused hands and weary eyes
No midwives to be found on the streets of David's town in the middle of the night
So he held her and he prayed, shafts of moonlight on his face
But the baby in her womb, he was the maker of the moon
He was the Author of the Faith that could make the mountains move

It was a labor of pain, it was a cold sky above
But for the girl on the ground in the dark with every beat of her beautiful heart
It was a labor of love

For little Mary full of grace, with tears on her face
It was a labor of love

It was not a silent night, on the streets of David's town
I said go, tell it on that mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

Hey go, tell it on that mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I said go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
