Back to: The Twelve Days of Christmas Carols

       1 While shepherds kept their watching
O’er silent flocks by night,
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

Chorus:
Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born.

2. The shepherds feared and trembled
   When lo! above the earth
   Rang out the angel chorus
   That hailed our Saviour’s birth; Chorus:
   
   
3. Down in a lowly manger
   The humble Christ was born;
   And God sent out salvation
   That blessed Christmas morn. Chorus:
   
   
4. When I was a seeker
   I sought both night and day
   I sought the Lord to help me
   And He showed me the way. Chorus:
   
   
5. He made me a watchman
   Upon the city wall
   And If I am a Christian
   I am the least of all. Chorus
