Lyrics
While shepherds kept their watching Over silent flocks by night Behold throughout the heavens There shone a holy light. Refrain: 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 angels chorus That hailed the Savior’s birth. (Refrain) Down in a lowly manger The humble Christ was born And there was great rejoicing That blessèd Christmas morn. (Refrain) Zig – guitar and vocals Geoff – electric guitars, percussion, bass
