While shepherds kept their watchin'
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy lightWell, the shepherds feared and trembled
When lo and above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our savior's birthGo tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is bornDown in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas mornGo tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is bornGo tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is bornGo tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born, that Jesus Christ is born
