Go Tell It On The Mountain

John Wesley Work, Jr., 1907

While shepherds kept their watching O'er silent flocks by night, Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light Chorus: Go, tell it on the mountain Over the hills and everywhere Go, tell it on the mountain That Jesus Christ is born.

And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
Chorus:
