While shepherds kept their watching O'er silent flocks by night Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light, 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 Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born today, today Down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born And God sent our salvation That blessed Christmas morn Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born Hallelujah (Jesus Christ the Lord is born) Hallelujah (Jesus Christ is born) (Jesus Christ is born today) Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Jesus Christ is born today, today, today Jesus Christ is born
