LYRICS
Go, go tell it, tell it on the mountain. Go and tell it on the mountain, over hills and everywhere. Go and tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born. While shepherds kept their watching oe'r silent flocks by night, Behold throughout the heavens There shown a holy light. Go and tell it... The shepherds feared and trembled When lo above the earth Rang out the angel chorus That hailed the savior's birth. Go and tell it... Down in a lowly manger, the humble Christ was born. And God brought us salvation that blessed Christmas morn. Go and tell it... Go, go, tell it, tell it on the mountain. Go, go, go. On the mountain, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born. |
