Go Tell It on the Mountain

• Lyrics

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

  While shepherds kept their watching
  Over silent flocks by night
  Behold throughout the heavens
  There shone a holy light.

  The shepherds feared and trembled,
  When lo! Above the earth,
  Rang out the angels chorus
  That hailed the Savior’s birth.

  Down in a lowly manger
  The humble Christ was born
  And God sent us salvation
  That blessed Christmas morn.

Scripture

“How beautiful on the mountains
are the feet of the herald,
who proclaims peace,
who brings news of good things,
who proclaims salvation,
who says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”
The voices of your watchmen—
they lift up their voices,
shouting for joy together;
for every eye will see
when the Lord returns to Zion.
Be joyful, rejoice together,
you ruins of Jerusalem!
For the Lord has comforted his people;
he has redeemed Jerusalem.
The Lord has displayed his holy arm
in the sight of all the nations;
all the ends of the earth will see
the salvation of our God.”

— Isaiah 52:7-10 (CSB)
