| lyric | Go tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev’rywhere,
Go tell it on the mountain,
Our Jesus Christ is born!
1. The shepherds kept their watching,
O’er silent flocks by night,
When lo! throughout the heavens,
There shone a holy light.
2. The shepherds feared and trembled,
When high above the earth,
Rang out an angel chorus,
To hail our Saviour’s birth.
3. And lo! Whenthey had heart it,
They all bowed down to pray,
Then travel’d on together,
To where the Baba lay.
4. When I was just a learner,
I sought by night and day,
To have the Good Lord help me.
To guids me on ma way.
5. I too amlike a shepherd,
My flock of days to guard,
Each day finds time for praying,
From this I won’t retard. |
