Go Tell It on the Mountain
Dolly Parton · Home for Christmas [1990]
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 watch
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shown 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 low 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.
--- Instrumental ---
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.
Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born...
