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
