"Go Tell It On The Mountain" Lyrics

It was a silent
And a starry night
When those shepherds were hard at work

Next thing they knew,
A thousand angels appeared
To announce a glorious birth

And they said...

Listen up, all shepherd boys
Pay attention for all you're worth
We bring you tidings of great, great joy
Tonight, heaven has come to earth

(And they sang:)
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Mary had a little lamb
Whose fleece was white as snow
He came to earth an innocent man
That's the same way He would go

He can take your sin
And throw it all away
Cause in the garbage
Is where it belongs
It's time to live your life
A brand new way
So get up and sing along

(You've got to)
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

(You've got to go)

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

(You've got to go)

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

People everywhere are lost
They need to be found
You've got to tell them about the love
Cause that's why we're around

Everywhere you look
And everywhere you go
There is someone else
That really needs to know

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

(Go...go...)
