Arranger: | John W. Work II |
Tune: | [Go Tell It on the Mountain] |
Adapter: | Joyce Finch Johnson |
Refrain:
Go tell it on the mountain,
over the hill 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]
