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

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

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

Oh 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 low above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our savior's birth

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

Oh go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and (go) everywhere
(Everywhere go and tell it)
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
(Oh he is born)

That Jesus Christ is born
(Oh go and tell it)

That Jesus Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus (Jesus) Christ is born
Go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus is born"
