While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light:

CHORUS
Go, Tell It On The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

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

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation,

That blessed Christmas morn.
