Go Tell It On The Mountain

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

That hailed the Savior's birth.

And lo! When they had heard it,

They all bowed down to pray,

Then traveled on together,

To where the Baby lay.

Down in a lowly manger

The humble Christ was born

And God sent us salvation

That blessed Christmas morn.

I too am like a shepherd,

My flock of days to guard,

Each day finds time for praying,

From this I won't retard.
