Go tell it on the mountain

Go tell it on the mountain (Text und Akkorde für Gitarre)

      G    
While shepherds kept their watching 

                      D7 
o'er silent flocks by night, 

  G    
behold throughout the heavens 

      D7           G    
there shone a holy light 
 
 

Refrain: 

G                
Go, tell it on the mountain 

D7                 G    
over the hills and everywhere 

G                
Go, tell it on the mountain 

     D7              G    
that Jesus Christ is born. 

 
    G    
The shepherds feared and trembled 

     D7           G    
when low above the earth 

     G    
rang out the angel chorus 

     D7         G     
that hailed our Saviour's birth; 

 

Refrain
 

     G     
Down in a lowly manger 

    D7                G    
our humble Christ was born; 

    G    
and God sent us salvation 

     D7                G    
that blessed Christmas morn 

 
Refrain 
 

     G   
When I was a seeker
 
  D7                    G    
I sought both night and day 

  G    
I sought the Lord to help me 

    D7               G    
and He showed me the way. 


 
Refrain 
 

   G    
He made me a watchman 

 D7           G    
upon the city wall 

    G    
and If I am a Christian 

  D7              G    
I am the least of all.
