Go, Tell It on the Mountain

Refrain:  
Go, tell it on the mountain,  
Over the hills and everywhere;  
Go, tell it on the mountain  
That Jesus Christ is born!  

1 While shepherds kept their watching  
O'er silent flocks by night,  
Behold! thro'out the heavens  
There shone a holy light. [Refrain]  

2 The shepherds feared and trembled  
When lo! above the earth  
Rang out the angel chorus  
That hailed our Savior's birth. [Refrain]  

3 Down in a lonely manger  
The humble Christ was born,  
And brought us God's salvation  
That blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain]
