While shepherds kept their watching

While shepherds kept their watching
Over silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light:
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 angel chorus
That hailed our Saviour's birth:
Go, Tell It on The Mountain,
Over the hills and everywhere;
Go, Tell It on The Mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
