Go, Tell It On the Mountain

(traditional)
Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and  ev’rywhere!
Go, tell it on the mountain
that Jesus Christ is  born.

While shepherds kept their watching
o’er 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 Savior’s birth.

Down in a lowly manger
our humble Christ was born,
and God sent us salvation
that blessed Christmas morn.
