While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

Go, (go, tell it) tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God send us salvation
That blessed Christmas born

Go, (go, tell it) tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! Above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed the savior's birth

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Oh

(Go, tell it) go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and go
Everywhere go and tell it (go and tell)
Tell it
That Jesus Christ is born (oh, he's born)
That Jesus Christ is born (go and tell)
That Jesus Christ is born

Go and tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ (Jesus Christ is born)

Go and tell it on the mountains
That Jesus is born
