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

[Verse 1]
While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

[Refrain]
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 the angels chorus
That hailed the Savior's birth

[Refrain]
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
[Verse 3]
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

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