Refrain

        Go tell it on the mountain,

        over the hills and ev’rywhere;

        go tell it on the mountain

        that Jesus Christ is born!

1      While shepherds kept their watching

        o’er silent flocks by night,

        behold, throughout 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 God sent us salvation

        that blessed Christmas morn.  Refrain
