GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAINS and LET US GO IN PEACE

This score pairs two joyful, energetic songs often heard echoing from the choir loft. The first takes the familiar refrain of "Go Tell It on the Mountains" but pairs it with a lively, narrative retelling of the feeding of the five thousand. Instead of the traditional Nativity verses, the choir sings of Jesus in the desert, the hungry crowd, and the miracle of the loaves and fishes, punctuated by enthusiastic shouts of "Yah!"

The second piece, "Let Us Go in Peace," serves as a spirited dismissal hymn. It captures the exact feeling of the end of Mass, sending the congregation out with a sense of mission and gratitude. The lyrics remind the faithful that having celebrated the mystery of Christ's love and shared in His Word and Body, they are now ready to spread the Good News.

Together, these songs bring a vibrant, rhythmic energy to the liturgy. The storytelling in the first piece engages the congregation, making the Gospel miracle feel immediate and alive. The recessional hymn then provides an uplifting conclusion to the Eucharistic celebration, sending everyone forth with a joyful "Yes Brothers! Yes Sisters!"
