"GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN"
Chorus 1
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
Verse 1
While shepherds kept their watching
O’er silent flocks by night, [all night]
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.
Shine on me Your light and I will ...
Chorus 2
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
Verse 2
The shepherds feared and trembled,
When lo! Above the earth, way up yonder,
Rang out the angels’ chorus [Alleluya!]
That hailed the Savior’s birth.
Oh, that is why I sing ...
Chorus 3 [a cappella]
Go tell it on the mountain [Tell it everywhere!]
Over the hills and everywhere, [Everywhere!]
Go tell it on the mountain [Tell it on the mountain, yeah!]
That Jesus Christ is born.
Interlude
[Go everywhere.]
[Go tell it everywhere.]
[Go, go, go,]
[Go tell it!]
Verse 3
Down in a lowly manger, yeah,
The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn’. [It’s time to get up and go ...]
