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

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo, above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour's birth

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

Down in a lonely manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent our salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

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

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

Hallelujah
Jesus Christ, the Lord, is born
Hallelujah
Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah 
Jesus Christ is born
Jesus Christ is born
