Sheet music
- 1Go tell it on the mountain,Over the hills and ev'rywhere;Go tell it on the mountainThat Jesus Christ is born!While shepherds kept their watchingO'er silent flocks by night,Behold, thru-out the heavensThere shone a holy light.
- 2Go tell it on the mountain,Over the hills and ev'rywhere;Go tell it on the mountainThat Jesus Christ is born!The shepherds feared and trembledWhen, lo, above the earthRang out the angel chorusThat hailed our Savior's birth.
- 3Go tell it on the mountain,Over the hills and ev'rywhere;Go tell it on the mountainThat Jesus Christ is born!Down in a lonely mangerThe humble Christ was born;And God sent us salvationThat blessed Christmas morn.
- 4Go tell it on the mountain,Over the hills and ev'rywhere;Go tell it on the mountainThat Jesus Christ is born!
