GO, TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN
African American Spiritual
John W. Work, Jr., 1907

(F)Go, (Bb)tell it on the (F)mountain,
(C)Over the (Bb)hills (C7)and (F)everywhere
(F)Go, (Bb)tell it on the (F)moun(Dm)tain,
That (Gm)Jesus (F/C)Christ (C7)is (F)born.

While (F)shepherds kept (Bb)their (F)watching
Over (C)silent (Dm)flocks (C)by (F)night
(F)Behold throughout (Bb)the (F)heavens
There (G7)shone a holy (C)li(C7)ght.

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

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

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

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

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