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.
Go go tell it.
Go go tell it
On the mountain
Go tell it, go go tell it.
The shepard feared and trembled when low, above the earth rang out the angel chorus that hailed our savious birth!
Go, tell it on the mountain over the hills and everywhere. Go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
Go go tell it
On the mountain
Go go tell it, go go tell it.
Down in a lonely manger the humble Christ was born, and God sent our salvation that blessed Christmas morn.
Go, tell it on the mountian over the hills and everywhere. Go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
Go go tell it, go go tell it
On a mountain
Go tell it, go go tell it
On a mountain
Go tell it, go go tell it
On a mountain
Go tell it, go go tell it
On a mountain!
