The birth of the Christ Child has been an occasion for great joy for centuries. Go Tell It on the Mountain gives us both the command to proclaim the coming of the Savior as well as a song by which to declare it.
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 o’er 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 angel chorus that hailed our Savior‘s birth.
Down in a lowly stable the humble Christ was born,
and God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn.
