The Fifth Day of Christmas

Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born!

While shepherds kept their watch o'er silent flocks by night,
behold throughout the heavens there shone a holy light.

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 angel chorus that hailed the Savior's birth.

Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born!

Down in a lowly manger the humble Christ was born,
and God sent us salvation that blessed Christmas morn.

Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born!
