While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
The shepherds feared and trembled
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
I seek both night and day;
I ask the lord to help me,
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain
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
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain
