Go Tell It On The Mountain
E Go, A tell it on the E mountain,
B7* over the hills and E everywhere,
E go, A tell it on the E mountain,
that B7* Jesus Christ is E born
While E shepherds kept their watching
o’er B7*silent flocks by E night,
be- E hold, throughout the heavens
there F#7 sshone a holy B7* light.
1. 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
o’er silent flocks by night,
be-hold, throughout the heavens
there shone a holy light.
2. 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 low above the earth,
rang out the angels chorus
that hailed our Savior’s birth.
3. Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere,
go, tell it on the mountain,
that Jesus Christ is born
And lo! When they had heard it,
they all bowed down to pray,
then travelled on together,
to where the Baby lay.
4. 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
that Jesus Christ was born.
The Lord sent down an angel
that bright and glorious morn.
5. Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere,
go, tell it on the mountain,
that Jesus Christ is born
When I was a seeker,
I sought both night and day.
I asked my Lord to help me
and He taught me to pray.
6. Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere,
go, tell it on the mountain,
that Jesus Christ is born
When I was a gambler,
I gambled night and day.
I asked my Lord to help me
and He showed me the way.
7. Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere,
go, tell it on the mountain,
that Jesus Christ is born
When I was a sinner,
I sinned both night and day.
I asked my Lord to help me
and He showed me the way.
8. Go, tell it on the mountain,
over the hills and everywhere,
go, tell it on the mountain,
that Jesus Christ is born
He made me a watchman
upon the city wall.
And If I am a Christian
I am the least of all.
