INTRO—Go Tell It on the Mountain!
Go, tell it on the mountain,
Over the hills and ev'rywhere;
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born!
1.
While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night,
Behold thro'-out the heavens
There shone a holy light.

2. The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo! above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth.

The humble Christ was born,
And God sent us salvation
that blessed Christmas morn.

The Story: John Wesley Work, Jr., may not have originated the Negro spiritual “Go, Tell It on the Mountain,” but he can take credit for the fact that we still sing it every Christmas.
As the son of a church choir director, Work grew up in Nashville loving music.
Even though he earned his Master’s in Latin and went on to teach ancient Latin and Greek, his first love continued to be music, and he went on to become the first African-American collector of Negro spirituals.
This proved to be a daunting task for Work because they were passed down orally, from plantation to plantation; very few were ever written down.
But Work proved up to the challenge, publishing his first book, New Jubilee Songs as Sung by the Fisk Jubilee Singers, in Songs of the American Negro, six years later.
It was in this second volume that “Go, Tell It on the Mountain” first appeared.

FOR CHRISTMAS THIS YEAR...
Come and see again for yourself the One who was born to be the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world…
Then go and tell—like the shepherds, Andrew, the woman at the well, & the one who told you—everyone you can that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life…the One who came to save us from our sin!
