While shepherds kept their Watching,
O' er wand'ring flock by night,
Behold! from out the Heavens
There shone a holy light.
Go tell it on the mountains
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountains
That Jesus Christ is born.
The Shepherds feared and trembled
When high above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour's birth.
Go tell it on the mountains
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountains
That Jesus Christ is born.
Down the lowly manger Humble
Christ was born And God sent
salvation That blessed Christmas morn.
Go tell it on the mountains
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountains
That Jesus Christ is born.
And lo! When they had seen it
They all bowed down and prayed
Then traveled on together
To where the Babe was laid
Go tell it on the mountains
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountains
That Jesus Christ is born.
