Verse 1

While shepherds kept their watchin'
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a Holy light
Oh I said

Chorus

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

Verse 2

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the Earth
Rang out an angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth

Verse 3

And down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
On that blessed Christmas morn'
Oh I said

Chorus

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

Verse 4

I was a lonely seeker
I sought both night and day
And I asked the Lord to help me
And He showed me the way

Verse 5

He made me a watchman
Upon a city wall
And if I am a Christian
I am the least of all
So I said

Chorus

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

Refrain

Go tell it go tell it
Go tell it go and tell it

Refrain

Go tell it go tell it
Go tell it go and tell about it

Refrain

Go tell it go tell it
Go tell it go and tell it
