Tune: | GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN |
Harmonizer: | Robert J. Batastini, b. 1942 |
Refrain:
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere;
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born!
1 While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night,
Behold, throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light. [Refrain]
2 The shepherds feared and trembled
When, lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth. [Refrain]
3 Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn. [Refrain]
