go tell it on the mountain lyrics

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and far away
I say now go, tell it on the mountain
Jesus Christ is born

The shepherds all were watching
O'er their sheep at night
When a guiding star shone from Heaven
And they followed that holy light

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I say, go tell it on the mountain
Jesus Christ is born

They found a lonely manger
Where the humble Christ was born
And God sent out salvation
On that blessed Christmas morn

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills, child, and everywhere
I say, go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

He brought with Him forgiveness
He lived to show us the way
He came to redeem all creation
And to wash all our sins away

So go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
I say, go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and far away
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born
That Jesus Christ is born
