Lyrics and music: Negro spiritual

Go Tell It on the Mountain

Refrain (Tenors and Bass) Why don't you go…

(Choir) Go tell it on the mountain,

Over the hills and everywhere

(Tenors and Bass) Why don't you go…

(Choir) Go tell it on the moun - tain

That Jesus Christ is born.

Verse 1 While shepherds kept their watching

O'er silent flocks by night,

Behold throughout the heavens

There shone a holy light--

Refrain

Verse 2 The shepherds feared and trembled,

When lo! above the earth

Rang out the angel chorus

That hailed our Savior's birth--

Refrain

Verse 3 Down in a lowly manger

The humble Christ was born,

And God sent us salvation

That blessed Christmas morn--

Refrain (Turn-around: "that Jesus Christ is born." twice -- End)
