go tell it on the mountain
Chorus
E B2 E
Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
E F#m B2 E
Go tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
E A2 E
While shepherds kept their watching o'er silent flocks by night,
E F#m B2
Behold throughout the heavens there shone a Holy Light.
​
Chorus
​
E A2 E
The shepherds feared and trembled when lo! Above the earth,
E F#m B2
Rang out the angel chorus that hailed our Saviour's birth.
​
Chorus
​
E A2 E
Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born
E F#m B2
And brought us God's salvation that blessed Christmas morn!
