Refrain:
Go Tell It On The Mountain,
Over The Hills And Everywhere;
Go Tell It On The Mountain
That Jesus Christ Is Born!
While Shepherds Kept Their Watching
O’er Silent Flocks By Night,
Behold Throughout The Heavens
There Shone A Holy Light. [Refrain]
The Shepherds Feared And Trembled
When Lo! Above The Earth
Rang Out The Angel Chorus
That Hailed Our Savior’s Birth. [Refrain]
Down In A Lowly Manger
The Humble Christ Was Born,
And God Sent Us Salvation
That Blessed Christmas Morn. [Refrain]
