 Go, tell it on the moun-tain,

;Text by J.W.Work Jr.

[V1]
.  7    8     9    9    -10   9  8..
 While shep-herds kept their wat-ching
. 7   -8  -8    7    -8 8...
 O'er si-lent flocks by night
.7   8        9   9  -10  9  8..
 Be-hold through-out the hea-vens
.  7    -8  -8  7-6. 6..-9..
 There shone a ho-ly li-ight

[V2]
 The shepherds feared and trembled
 When lo! Above the Earth
 Rang out the angel chorus
 That hailed our Savior's birth

[V3]
 And lo, when they had heard it
 they all bowed down and prayed;
 They traveled on together
 to where the babe was layed

[V4]
 Down in a lowly manger
 Our humble Christ was born
 And God sent us salvation
 That blessed Christmas morn

.8..  8   -8 7  -6  6..   7..
 Go, tell it on the moun-tains,
.-8-8   7   -8   7 -8  8 -8 7  -6  6.
 o-ver the hills a-and e-ev'ry-whe-ere,
.8..  8.  -8 7. -6  6..   7
 go, tell it on the moun-tains
. -9  8  8.    -8   -8 7... .
 that Je-sus Christ is born.

[V1]
. 8   9  9 -10 9  8..
 When I was a see-ker
.7   -8     -8    7   -8  8...
 I thought both night and day,
.7   8    9   9  -10  9   8..
 I asked the Lord to help me,
. 7  -8   -8   7 -6. 6.. 9..
 and He taught me to pra-ay.

[V2]
 When I was a sinner,
 I prayed both night and day,
 I asked the Lord to help me,
 and He showed me the way.

[V3]
 He made me a watchman
 upon the city wall;
 and if I am a Christian,
 I am the least of all.
