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 sought 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

I'm up to the summit
To see the broken land
For God so loved the people
That He lowered His own hand

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
