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.
Down in a lonely 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
