"Go Rest High on That Mountain" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Vince Gill. Released in August 1995 as the sixth single from his album *When Love Finds You*, this eulogic ballad was inspired by the death of country singer Keith Whitley in 1989. Gill began writing the song shortly after Whitley's death but did not complete it until a few years later, following the death of his older brother Bob in 1993. The recording features background vocals by Ricky Skaggs and Patty Loveless.

The song is a tribute to Vince Gill's stepbrother and is composed in the key of D major with a slow tempo, primarily following the chord progression D-G-D-A-D. In December 2019, Gill added a third verse to the song, commenting to *People*, “Yeah, it doesn’t make much sense, does it? ‘Leave it alone, you idiot!’ That should be my mantra. But in my heart, I think this makes it better.”

This arrangement is for a string quintet.
