Go, tell it on the mountain,

Behold, throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light. [Refrain]

To where the Babe was laid. [Refrain]

The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn.

As with Gladness Men of Old
Author: William C. Dix, 1837-1898 Appears in 639 hymnals Refrain First Line: 77 77 77 Lyrics: 1 As with gladness men of old
Did the guiding star behold,
As with joy they hailed its light,
Leading onward, beaming bright,
So, most gracious Lord, may we
Evermore be lead to thee.
2 As with joyful steps they sped
To that lowly manger bed,
There to bend the knee before
Him whom heav'n and earth adore;
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek the mercy seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare;
So may we with holy joy,
Pure and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ! to thee, our heav'nly King.
4 Holy Jesus, ev'ry day
Keep us in the narrow way;
And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
Where no clouds thy glory hide.
5 In the heav'nly country bright
Need they no created light;
Thou, its light, its joy, its crown,
Thou its sun which goes not down;
There for ever may we sing
Alleluias to our King. Topics: The Liturgical Year The Epiphany of the Lord; The Liturgical Year The Epiphany of the Lord Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12 Used With Tune: DIX
