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 o'er 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 angel chorus that hailed our Saviour's birth.

Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born

And brought us God's salvation that blessed Christmas morn
