While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light
cho: Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
The shepherds deared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savour's birth;
Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born;
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
When I was a seeker
I sought both night and day
I sought the Lord to help me
And He showed me the way.
He made me a watchman
Upon the city wall
And If I am a Christian
I am the least of all.
Version 2
-----------
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
The shepherds kept their watching,
O'er silent flocks by night,
When lo! through-out the heavens,
There shone a holy light.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
|
The shepherds feared and trembled,
When high above the earth,
Rang out an angel chorus,
To hail our Saviour's birth.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
And lo! When they had heard it,
They all bowed down to pray,
Then travelled on together,
To where the Baby lay.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
Down in a lowly manger,
The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation,
That blessed Christmas morn.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
I too am like a shepherd,
My flock of days to guard,
Each day finds time for praying,
From this I won't retard.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born!
