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
Over 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 angels 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 bless??짢d Christmas morn

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go, tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song
I'm gonna stand for right and I always shun the wrong
If I'm in the crowd, if I'm alone
On the streets or in my home
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song

Everyday, everywhere
On a busy thoroughfare
Folks may watch me; some may spot me
Say I'm foolish
But I don't care
I can't sing one thing and then live another
Be saint by day and a devil undercover
I've got to live the life I sing about in my song

If at day, if at night
I must always walk in the light
Some mistake me; underrate me
Because I want to do all right
I can't go to church and shout all day Sunday
Go out and get drunk and raise sand all day Monday
I've got to live the life I sing about in my song

[Verse:]
In the upper room with Jesus,
Sitting at His blessed feet.
Daily does my sin confessing,
Begging for His mercy, sweet.

Trusting in His grace and power,
Seeking there, His love in prayer.
It is then I feel the Spirit,
As I sit with Him up there.

[Chorus:]
In the upper with Jesus.
In the upper room with my Lord.
In the upper room,
In the upper room,
It's in the upper room,
Yes, with my Lord.

In the upper with Jesus.
In the upper room, I'm taking with my Lord.

In the upper room,
In the upper room,
It's in the upper room,
Yes, with the Lord.

Joy to the world! The Lord is come
Let earth receive her king
Let ev'ry heart prepare him room
And heav'n and nature sing
And heav'n and heav'n and nature sing

Joy to the earth! The Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as, far as the curse is found

He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness
And wonders of his love
And wonders, and wonders of his love

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

For Christ is born of Mary, and gathered all above
While mortals sleep the angels keep their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together, proclaim thy holy birth.
And praises sing to God the king, and peace to men on earth.

Oh little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth, the everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

Sweet little Jesus boy
They made you be born in a manger
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were
Didn't know you'd come to save us Lord
To take our sins away
Our eyes were blind, we could not see
We didn't know who you were

Long time ago
You were born
Born in a manger Lord
Sweet little Jesus boy
The world treats you mean Lord
Treats me mean too
But that's how things are down here
We don't know who you are

You have told us how
We are trying
Master you have shown us how
Even when you were dying
Just seems like we can't do right
Look how we treated you
But please Sir forgive us Lord
We didn't know it was you

Sweet little Jesus boy
Born a long time ago
Sweet little holy child
We didn't know who you were

Which art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy Kingdom come,
Thy will be done,
On earth
As it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
And forgive our debts
As we forgive our debtors.
and lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from evil;
For thine is the kingdom
And the power and the glory
Forever,
Amen
Amen.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
And I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white
And have a merry Christmas
And have a merry Christmas, too

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas

Going home one day and tell my story

Will drink that ole healing water

And we gonna live on forever

Gonna fly Lord and never falter

Gonna meet Old man Daniel
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet the Hebrew children
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet Paul and Samuel
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet my friends and kindred
Gonna move on up a little higher

Will be always, howdy, howdy,
Will be always, howdy, howdy,
And never goodbye

O will you be there
Early one morning
Will you be there
Somewhere 'round the altar

Yes, I'll be watching somewhere 'round the altar
Well I'll be waiting
O at the beautiful, yes golden gates

Well, well
Soon as my feet strike Zion
Gonna lay down my heaven burden

Will drink that 'ole healing water

Meet me there early one morning
Meet me there somewhere 'round the altar
Meet me there

For care He sets me free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

How I got over,
How I got over, my Lord
And my soul looked back and wondered
How I got over, my Lord
The tallest tree in Paradise
The Christians call it tree of life
And my soul looked back and wondered
How I got over, my Lord

Lord, I've been buked and I've been scorned
And I've been talked bout as sure as you're born
And my soul looked back and wondered
How I got over, my Lord

Oh, Jordan's river is so chilly and cold
It will chill your body but not your soul
And my soul looked back and wondered
How I got over, my Lord

There are those who really see you
No matter what your trust may be

Even friend and near of kin can be
Sometime torn, there backs on me

Whoa, but the one
Whose always listenin'

And my poor, poor condition sees
Yes, I can put all my trust in my Jesus

Oh, yes

Can He put His trust in me?
Do I help those who are in need?

Just like Jesus, Jesus has helped me
Oh, do I give my best in service
Even though Lord, no one can see?

Well, Lord, am I truly, truly, Lord, an example
Well, what a Christian, a Christian, ought to be?

Yes, I can put all my trust in my Jesus
Oh, yes, can He put, oh, my lord, His trust in me

One a-these mornings
Soon one morning
I'm gonna lay down my cross
Get me a crown
Soon one evening
Late in the evening,
Late in the evening
I'm going home live on high

Soon as my feet strike Zion
Lay down my heavy burden
Put on my robe in glory
Going home one day and tell my story
I've been coming over hills and mountain
Gonna drink from the Christian fountain
Your know all of God's sons and daughters that morning
Will drink that ole healing water

And we gonna live on forever
We gonna live on forever
We gonna live on up in glory after awhile

O Lord, I'm going outside, to sing and bugle
March all around God's altar
Gonna walk and never get tired
Gonna fly Lord and never falter

I'm gonna move up a little higher
Gonna meet Old man Daniel
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet the Hebrew children
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet Paul and Samuel
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet my friends and kindred
Gonna move on up a little higher
Gonna meet my loving mother
I'm gonna move on up a little higher

Gonna meet the Lily of the Valley
I'm gonna feast with the Rose of Sharon

It will be always howdy, howdy,
Will be always, howdy, howdy,
Will be always, howdy, howdy,
And never goodbye

O will you be there
Early one morning
Will you be there
Somewhere 'round the altar
Will you be there
O when the angels shall call the roll

God knows I'll be waiting
Yes, I'll be watching somewhere 'round the altar
Well I'll be waiting
O at the beautiful, yes golden gates

Well, well
Soon as my feet strike Zion
Gonna lay down my heaven burden
I'm gonna put on my robe in glory
I'm going home one day and tell my story
I've been coming over hills and mountain
I'm gonna drink from the Christian fountain
You know all of God's sons and daughters that morning
Will drink that 'ole healing water

Meet me there early one morning
Meet me there somewhere 'round the altar
Meet me there
O when the angels shall call God's roll
