While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens, there shon 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 Savior's birth
Down in a lowly manger, our humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
On that blessed Christmas morn

I was a lonely seeker, I sought both night and day
I asked the Lord to help me
And He showed me the way
He made me a watchman upon a city wall
And if I am a Christian, I am the least of all

Go tell it, Go tell it
Go tell it, Go on an tell it
