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, 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 lowly manger
the humble Christ was born,
and God sent us salvation
that blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain]Topics: Christian Year Nativity/Christmas; Christian Year Epiphany; Jesus Christ BirthScripture: Isaiah 40:9Languages: EnglishTune Title: GO TELL IT
Author: James MontgomeryHymnal: GG2013 #220 (2013)Meter: 7.7.7.7.7.7Publication Date: 2013Lyrics: 1 Go to dark Gethsemane,
all who feel the tempter’s power;
your Redeemer’s conflict see;
watch with him one bitter hour;
turn not from his griefs away;
learn from Jesus Christ to pray.
2 Follow to the judgment hall;
view the Lord of life arraigned;
O the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
learn from him to bear the cross.
3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb;
there, adoring at his feet,
mark that miracle of time,
God’s own sacrifice complete;
“It is finished!” hear him cry;
learn from Jesus Christ to die.
4 Early hasten to the tomb
where they laid his breathless clay:
all is solitude and gloom.
Who has taken him away?
Christ is risen! He meets our eyes.
Savior, teach us so to rise.Topics: Christian Year Palm Sunday; Christian Year Maundy Thursday; Christian Year Good Friday; Christian Year Resurrection/Easter; Jesus Christ Passion and DeathScripture: Matthew 10:38Languages: EnglishTune Title: REDHEAD 76
