Go Tell It on The Mountain

(D) John W. Work Jr.

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:
who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.

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

Verse 1
While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

Verse 2
The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth

Verse 3
Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And brought us God's salvation
That blessed Christmas morn
