Go tell it on the mountain

Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere,
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.

   2. The shepherds feared and trembled,
      when low above the earth,
      rang out the angels chorus
      that hailed our Savior's birth.

   3. And lo! When they had heard it,
      they all bowed down to pray,
      then travelled on together,
      to where the Baby lay.

   4. Down in a lowly manger
      that Jesus Christ was born.
      The Lord sent down an angel
      that bright and glorious morn.
