While shepherds kept their watching Over silent flocks by night Behold throughout the heavens, there shown a holy light Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born The shepherds feared and trembled when low above the earth When out the angel chorus, that hailed the savior's birth Go tell it tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountains that Jesus Christ is born Now in the lonely manger, our humble Christ was born And God sent us 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 Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born
