Dec 25 Go Tell it on the Mountain http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_Tell_It_on_the_Mountain_(song)

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 low above the earth,
Rang out the angels chorus
That hailed our Savior's bi--rth.
Refrain

While shepherds kept their watching
o’er silent flocks by night,
Behold, throughout the heavens
There shone a holy li--ght
Refrain

And lo! When they had heard it,
They all bowed down to pray,
Then travelled on together,
To where the Baby la--y.
Refrain

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas mo--rn.
Refrain

"Go Tell It on the Mountain" is an African-American spiritual that dates back to at least 1865. It has been sung and recorded by many gospel and secular performers. It is considered a Christmas carol because its lyrics celebrate the Nativity: "Go tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere; go tell it on the mountain, that Jesus Christ is born."

The song became a Civil Rights anthem in the 1960s, having been adapted and rewritten as "Tell It on the Mountain". The lyrics referred specifically to the Israelite exodus with the line "Let my people go," but also referred to the Civil Rights struggle of the early '60s.
