251 Go Tell It on the Mountain

Go Tell It on the Mountain

G                            
Go, tell it on the mountain,
D        G                     
over the hills and everywhere;
                             
go, tell it on the mountain,
     D     G               
that Jesus Christ is born.
                                    
While shepherds kept their watching
     D      G                
o'er silent flocks by night,
                                    
behold throughout the heavens there
D       G    D7     
shown a holy light.
