31 Days of Christmas - Day Thirty - Go Tell It On The Mountain

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN

Traditional Spirituals

Refrain:

Go tell it on the mountain,

over the hills, and ev'rywhere;

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]
