Go, tell it on the mountain — Lyrics
Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountains, over the hills and ev'rywhere.
Go, tell it on the mountains that Jesus Christ is born.
1.
While shepherds kept their watching o'er silent flocks by night,
Behold, throughout the heavens there shone a holy light.

About Go, tell it on the mountain
This arrangement of the well-known spiritual Go, tell it on the mountain is ideal for Christmas services and concerts. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonies to depict the joy and awe of the Nativity. The English text recounts the story of Christ's birth, from the shepherds in the fields to the angelic announcement and the humble manger. It urges singers to spread the news with powerful refrains that echo the original call to action.
