Go Tell It On The Mountain
Lyrics to Go Tell It On The Mountain
Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
The shepherds feared and trembled
When low above the earth,
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth.
Chorus
While shepherds kept their watching
o'er silent flocks by night,
Behold, throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light
Chorus
And lo! When they had heard it,
They all bowed down to pray,
Then travelled on together,
To where the Baby lay.
Chorus
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas mo--rn.
