Couplet 1

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

Couplet 2

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

Refrain

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

Couplet 3

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the earth
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed the Savior's birth

Refrain

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

Couplet 4

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

Refrain

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