Couplet 1

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

Couplet 2

And the shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth

That hailed our Savior's birth

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

Couplet 3

Down in a lowly manger
Our 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
Jesus Christ is born

Couplet 4

He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall
And if I am a Christian
I am the least of all

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

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
