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