Author: John Wesley Work, Jr. Hymnal: The Cyber Hymnal #1993 First Line: While shepherds kept their watching Lyrics: Refrain:
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 the Savior’s birth. [Refrain]
3. Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessèd Christmas morn. [Refrain] Languages: English Tune Title: [While shepherds kept their watching]
Go, Tell It on the Mountain
