Refrain

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

While shep­herds kept their watch­ing
O’er si­lent flocks by night
Behold through­out the hea­vens
There shone a ho­ly light.

Refrain

The shep­herds feared and trem­bled,
When lo! ab­ove the earth,
Rang out the an­gel chor­us
That hailed the Sav­ior’s birth.

Refrain

Down in a low­ly man­ger
The hum­ble Christ was born
And God sent us sal­va­tion
That bless­èd Christ­mas morn.
