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 lowly manger
The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas; Jesus Christ Savior; Salvation; Spirituals; Testimony, Witness, Evangelism Scripture: Luke 2:16 Languages: English Tune Title: GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
