Go Tell It on the Mountain
Celebrate the Divine Birth: Spread the Joyful Message
Lyrics
Go tell it on the mountain
Encouragement to spread the message
Over the hills and everywhere
Emphasizing the widespread nature of the message
Go tell it on the mountain
Reiteration of the call to share the news
That Jesus Christ is born hallelujah (2x)
Celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ with hallelujah
The shepard kept their watchin'
Describing shepherds watching over their sheep
All over the sheep
Indicating the wide scope of the shepherds' watch
He hold the light from heaven
Depicting a divine light from heaven
That shone a holy light, everybody
Describing the holy light that illuminated everyone
Go tell it on the mountain
Repeat of the call to share the news
Over the hills and everywhere
Emphasizing the broad distribution of the message
Go tell it on the mountain
Reiteration of the importance of spreading the news
That Jesus Christ is born
Restatement of the joyous proclamation of Jesus' birth
Born this bright glorious morning
Highlighting the bright and glorious morning of Christ's birth
Christ is born today
Affirming that Christ is born on this day
He came to redeem every sinner
Expressing the purpose of Christ's birth to redeem sinners
And to wash, their sins away, hallelujah
Celebrating the cleansing of sins with hallelujah
Go tell it on the mountain
Reiteration of the call to proclaim the news
Over the hills Lord, everywhere
Emphasizing the universal nature of the proclamation
Go tell it on the mountain
Repeat of the importance of spreading the news
That Jesus Christ is born!
Final proclamation of Jesus Christ's birth
