Go Tell It On The Mountain
Christian Gospel Choir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Go, go, tell everybody,
Go, go tel, tell everybody, go
Go tell, tell everybody go,
Go tell, tell everybody go,

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.

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

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.

The shepherds stirred and trembled,
When lo, above the earth,
Rang out the angels calling,
That hail 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.
Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.

Tell me the lowly saviour,
A humble cloth was worn.
And then there was the vision,
And on the crib was born.

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




That Jesus Christ is born.
That Jesus Christ is born.

Amen this is amazing

@jonathantshibula9627

Confess that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, and you will be saved..Be baptized and repent of your sins. Repent simply means to turn away from your sins. God loves you and so do I.
