REFRAIN

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 watching
O’er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light.

Refrain

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

Refrain

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessèd Christmas morn.

Refrain





Bible Reading :

Colossians 2

2That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

3In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

4And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

5For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

6As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

7Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Life holds a span of time for hearts -
To hear a voice so mild
From an obedient child
Chosen as the one
Who would
Lead us.


In the temple everyday
They had listened to all he'd say…
But would they learn to keep the way
When this same gentle voice would
Speak the timeless words,
“Follow Me”.


The Lamb of God took delight
In healing the sick and giving sight
To those in need
Of His sweet embrace,
Perpetual love,
And abundant grace.


His footprints from the past
Are set on earth to last
For those who still
Want to follow this day
And dwell within
His joyful stay.

‘Twas known at the time of his birth
That Christ would rule round this earth.
With tenderness, He taught us to pray
Guiding God's precious children
Into His bountiful,
Luminous garden
To sing, laugh and
Forever play.
