►LYRICS - Go Tell It on the Mountain
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 watchin'
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 the 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

(Go tell it on the mountain)
Tell it on the mountain
(Over the hills and everywhere)
Everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

*LYRICS - Go Tell It on the Mountain*

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 watchin'
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 the 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

(Go tell it on the mountain)
Tell it on the mountain
(Over the hills and everywhere)
Everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Album: Christmas with The Petersens

[garyrichards]

A trait that the Petersens always exhibit is sincere enthusiasm for what they are doing. We need more of that today.

[General_Hurricane]

Fun fact: my dog is sincerely comforted by your guys music. Whenever my family leaves we always play it for him and he calms down

[johnpadams]

Look at that impressive Momma in the back just go in on that upright Bass! The whole team is excellent !

[mikehill]

Hearing the Petersons glorify the Lord Jesus' first advent - Christmas morning is complete! ❤🌲

[lippdog]

Most underrated player: Dad who worked his butt off to pay for all of those music lessons!

[renavazpqdt]

I will always remember Peter, Paul & Mary singing this amazing song. But The Petersens do very well, I am a new fan.

[michaelseth]

If ever in need of a smile on my face The Petersons come to the rescue 😊😁😃😄🙃 !!! ❤👍

[HMHeres]

That lick at 1:26 on the dobro, that's as smooth and tasty as a perfect Christmas cake.

[rudolfq.]

Yes, Jesus Christ is born.
Thank you for this wonderful song.
Merry Christmas from Germany.

[kennrothman]

I KNOW I have watched this one before...WHY I didn't comment about how AWESOME it is...well I have no excuse...but NOW I HAVE SAID IT!!!! A W E S O M E !!!!

[mrsnowman]

Katies smile is so efficacious always puts a smile on my face love the music as always

[OddboxMusic]

In a time when American culture is under attack, you are a beacon of light. I truly mean that. Bless you, from Ireland.

[cmac]

I hope you all have a very merry Christmas! Have a wonderful month of rest in January too!

[billcaruso]

If you have never heard this amazing group perform, you HAVE to go to Branson!
My daughter and I saw them last July, and they make you feel like you are in their living room just having fun!

[imtherealone.]

Even in this one, Julianne and Katie's harmonies are really great. You guys did amazing job with the Christmas album.

[Allen]

This is it: the definitive bluegrass harmony version of Go Tell It On The Mountain. I've loved Sara Evans' country-pop version for many years, and now the Petersens LIVE version, featuring Ellen's strong vocals, and solo breaks from each of banjo, fiddle, and dobro, plus a bass feature, have made a modern classic for many years' enjoyment to come. Ellen really takes us to church on that last chorus, with the siblings keeping mighty fine harmony Your fan, Allen.

[garycasey]

Perfect song for Christmas. A big thank you to the Petersens this year, they made a tough year a little more bearable. Merry Christmas everyone!

[davidlogan]

Thank you! So often we forget that Jesus is the greatest gift ever in the history of Mankind.

[craigmooring]

Yeah! Preach it, Choir! Great break, Emmet. And did I see a wisp of smoke comin' off that bass? Git it, Mama.
