[Verse 1] While shepherds watch their flocks by night
Behold there shone an angel bright
While shepherds watch those flocks by night
There did appear a holy light; they sang

[Chorus] 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 at first
When lo above the earth they heard
The angel's song; a chorus sweet
It hailed that earth her Savior meets

[Chorus] Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

[Instrumental] [Verse 3] Down in a lowly manger bed
The humble Christ drew his first breath
And brought to us God's saving power
And all was changed that blessed hour

[Chorus] Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born; we sing
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
