G                           D                  G 
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;

Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born. 

      G                                  D                G 
While shepherds kept their watching o'er silent flocks by night,

Behold throughout the heavens there shone a Holy Light.

    G                                   D            G 
The shepherds feared and trembled when lo! Above the earth, 
                               D         Em         D7 
Rang out the angel Chorus that hailed our Saviour's birth.

G                                D7             G 
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born. 

     G                     D                 G 
Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born 
                                    D       Em        D 
And brought us God's salvation that blessed Christmas morn!

Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere; 
G                                D7             G 
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
