Go Tell It On The Mountain
Lynda Randle Lyrics


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.


While shepherds kept their watching
Over 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.


The shepherds feared and trembled,
When lo! above the earth,
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed the 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 lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessèd Christmas morn.


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




Go, tell it on the mountain,
That Jesus Christ is born.
