While shepherds kept their watching Over silent flocks by night Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light 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 Jesus christ is born When I am a seeker I seek both night and day I ask the lord to help me And he shows me the way
He made me a watchman Upon the city wall And if I am a christian I am the least of all
Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain Jesus christ is born Down in a lowly manger Our humble christ was born And God send us salvation That blessed christmas morn
Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain Jesus christ Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain Jesus christ is born
