| While shepherds watch their flocks by night
|
| Behold there shone an angel bright
|
| While shepherds watch those flocks by night
|
| There did appear a holy light; |
| they sang
|
| 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 at first
|
| When lo above the earth they heard
|
| The angel’s song; |
| a chorus sweet
|
| It hailed that earth her Savior meets
|
| 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 bed
|
| The humble Christ drew his first breath
|
| And brought to us God’s saving power
|
| And all was changed that blessed hour
|
| Go tell it on the mountain
|
| Over the hills and everywhere
|
| Go tell it on the mountain
|
| That Jesus Christ is born; |
| we sing
|
| Go tell it on the mountain
|
| Over the hills and everywhere
|
| Go tell it on the mountain
|
| That Jesus Christ is born |
