Go, Tell it on the mountain
(John W. Work, Jr.)


Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed the Savior's birth

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn.

Tell it on the mountain
version sung by The New Christy Mintrels:


Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and far away
Go, tell it on the mountain
He was born on christmas day

Long ago (early in the morning)
the Angels sang (in the heavens above)
it was so (so early in the morning)
and the world was filled with love

I'm gonna sing and shout it (oh yes my Lord)
I'm gonna sing and shout it (oh yes my Lord)
children go and tell the world
He was born on christmas day

children go (find him in an ..)
in low or high (your head in shame)
go (find him in an ..)
and praise his holy name

I'm gonna sing and shout it (oh yes my Lord)
gonna sing and shout it (oh yes my Lord)
children go and tell the world
He was born on christmas day

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and far away
Go, tell it on the mountain
He was born on christmas day

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and far away
Go, tell it on the mountain
He was born on christmas day

children go and tell the world
He was born on christmas day
