Lyrics
(African American Spiritual)
Refrain
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
Our Jesus Christ is born
1. While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light. Refrain
2. The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angels’ chorus
That hailed the Savior’s birth. Refrain
3. Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God send us salvation,
That blessed Christmas morn. Refrain
