Go, tell it on the mountain,
 over the hills and everywhere.
 Go, tell it on the mountain
 that Jesus Christ is born.

 While shepards kept their watching
 o'er silent flocks by night,
 behond, throughout the heavens
 There shone a holy light.
 *chorus*

 The shepards feared and trembled
 when lo, above the earth
 rang out the angel chorus
 that hailed our Saviour's birth!
 *chorus*

 Down in a lonely manger
 the humble Christ was born,
 and God sent our salvation
 that blessed Christmas morn.
 *chorus
