Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born [Repeat x2]

The shepherds kept their watch
All over the sheep
He hold the light from heaven
That shone a holy light, everybody

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

Born this bright glorious morning
Christ is born today
He came to redeem every sinner
And to wash, their sins away,

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills Lord, everywhere




Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
