Author: John W. Work, Jr., 1871-1925 Hymnal: One in Faith #395 (2015) Meter: 7.6.7.6 with refrain First Line: While shepherds kept their watching Lyrics: 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 And lo, when they had heard it
They all bowed down and prayed;
They traveled on together
To where the Babe was laid. [Refrain]
4 Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain] Topics: Christmas Languages: English Tune Title: GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
