Go, tell it on the mountain

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light:
Go, 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 our saviour's birth:
Go, 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
Our humble christ was born
And god send us salvation,
That blessed christmas morn:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That jesus christ is born.

When i am a seeker,
I seek both night and day
I seek the lord to help me,
And he shows me the way:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That jesus christ is born.

He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall,
And if i am a christian,
I am the least of all.
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That jesus christ is born.
