While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light, shone a holy light
The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo, above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born today, today
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent our salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
Hallelujah
(Jesus Christ the Lord is born)
Hallelujah
(Jesus Christ is born)
(Jesus Christ is born today)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Jesus Christ is born today, today, today
Jesus Christ is born
