[Verse 1]
While shepherds watch their flocks by night
Behold there shone an angel bright
While shepherds watch those flocks by night
There did appear a holy light; they sang

[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 at first
When lo above the earth they heard
The angel's song; a chorus sweet
It hailed that earth her Savior meets

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

[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
Down in a lowly manger bed
The humble Christ drew his first breath
And brought to us God's saving power
And all was changed that blessed hour

[Chorus]
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born; we sing
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
